    Default Best Place For NEW NES 72 Pins?

    I know this has probably been posted here before but I am retarded and cant seem to find it .

    Wheres the cheapest place to pick these things up. Ebay just owns you for shipping so badly, any good sites? I need about 4 pins.

    Since you are located in Canada, I would advice against getting them directly from mcm electronics. They will KILL you on shipping. Ebay does have some sellers that seem alright for shipping, I've bought some in the past and only payed a couple bucks for shipping.

    I personally like refurbished pins better. They run 100% better, and they are not as hard to pull out. (They are only better if they are done right). I know omnedon (from this forum) does this for NESes, and is located in Alberta, so you might give him a try.

    mat electronics is cheap, but you have to buy a minimum(i forget what it is though)...run a search for them...theyre cheap, and shippings not bad either.

    I believe it's a $25 minimum order with them....buying 4 oughta get you in the club...but I must say it's much better to support a DP seller.

    If you need 4, go Electricquarter.

    If you need just 1, call Nintendo, they'll do it for free (at least in the USA).

    Just call them up and act like you don't know anything. It might take you a few times but i did it, so it really does work.

    Do I literally call the number on the bottom of my NES? A free Nintendo 72 pin adapter sounds intriquing, what's the phone number?

    Are you sure they won't laugh at me for asking?
