Snes early heavy model inside.

Take a look at the inside of one of the early snes units. Far different than the later models. These units must have been made 90-91 and the 92-95 units I have don't have the large motherboard or seperated sound. I've noticed too that the 95 units have a soldered in connector which is not easily replaced like the units before that.

Yes, I have a functional and in good condition (even this gray and not yellow) of this model, the only thing wrong is and oxide, which is not as removed and the slot a bit annoying in some games.

@JAM007BLEACH Cool picture you use here. I'm on episode 6 or 7 of full metal panic and it's getting better which each one.

[matt78tv]

This heavy model is in the 14,000,000 range.

@matt78tv I have 1st model with the white eject letters in mint shape with no yellowing, and the UN number says 10115394. So is this a really early model? if its this old with no yellowing whatsoever, is the still a chance that it will start to yellow?

Thanks =)

oh yeah! Also, you know the 1-800 sticker with Mario and the toolbox that you see on most consoles? Well, mine has a white sticker with red writing and two Marios running. is this common? I've never seen it before. only the other one.

It think what may have happened may be bad caps.

The SNES used a lot of surface mount radial electrolytic capacitors (silver can with black mark and numbers printed in the top and on a black or brown plastic base).

Caps of this type from the mid 1990s and earlier had a tendency to leak after a few years. More than likely, all SMD electrolytics on the mainboard of that busted SNES went bad.

Double whammy: the electrolyte that leaks out can damage the copper traces on the board.
