Potentially a good “on paper” deal…

My buddy was at an estate sale today, and got me four BNIB Samsung TX-P1430 CRT TV’s for $50 total!!!

I bought them sight unseen though, so fingers crossed. He saw new boxes of old TV’s, texted me the model #, I Google’ed it, and saw this:

I said BUY IT NOW.

I should have them next week :weary:

The Y/Pb/Pr input is what would make that display awesome.
It is all 480i, but that is how CRT screens operate as Interlace (not progressive).

I wonder how this device performs with HD Retrovision cables (they just convert RGBs to Y/Pb/Pr with no change in resolution).
Assuming this TV can accept 240p Y/Pb/Pr. Most likely yes it should due to it’s analog nature.
Also a good RGBs to Y/Pb/Pr converter might be worth it for retro consoles.

You got 4 new CRT TVs with component inputs for $50? I’m kinda jealous.

Bunch of Madcatz prototypes were up on eBay, scored several. Got this one, a WiiU one in an MLG shell, and a TTT2 shell with vewlix panel.

Also picked up a MAS stick, needs some love but already had an MC Cthulhu inside. Just need to pick up new IL parts and redo the wiring.

Friend sold me his 2nd gen silent jlf for $20 Canadian. He said it was defective but I doubt it’s something I can’t fix.

That’s a pretty good deal. I wonder what the issue is.

He said something about the up direction being kinda wonky on his stick. I might just need to desolder the switch and move it a bit closer to the actuator

EDIT: It plugged and played just fine in my madcatz v.s. I guess he just didnt install it correctly.

I’ve been scouring various sites for Dreamcast gear lately and found this bundle up for auction on Goodwill:
https://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/Sega-Dreamcast-HkT-3010-Bundle-36934007.html

The description states that everything is untested an the console’s model number is HKT-3010, which is for a JP model.
Auction price is current up at $86, but it comes with a metric shit-ton of accessories. I have the current held bid, but I have all I need at this point.
If anyone is interested, take a look.

Light guns were pretty tuff to get stateside back in the day, so that might be worth a few extra shekels, plus green goblin, so definitely a good get if you win it!

MadCatz Joystick on Sale for $169 for this week only.

A last gen VLX for a mere 150 CAD. It sounds too good to be true

Found at Mad Catz Femme Fatale at one of my stores. Managed to snag it for $50. I already had one in the box, but this was too good of a deal to pass up. Number 229/650

$50?! That’s a steal! Bravo!

I bought one of those red madcatz te sticks for $20 before lol…

some dude was at the pawn shop was trying to sell that(I was there buying xboxes) and they wouldnt buy it because they didnt wtf it was. I offered the dude $20 and got it.

So, who wants to play “how much did Rei spend today?”
