[Dave Playman]

Anyone interested in a Nintendo NES with 3 controllers, 1x zapper, Mario/Duck Hunt, original power supply and RF cable, plus the 14” Sony Trinitron TV for £100? (collection from/near Cambridge)
Everything is working as it should.

Thought it best to post here, than in the machines for sale thread….If it needs to go elsewhere for non-pinball related sales, please can an admin move it accordingly thanks.

Thanks! Yeah it’s a nice compact retro setup. Only selling as I just got a B&O to replace the Sony, and have another NES console, so basically selling my spare set

Very cool if I was closer

A few years ago I trawled eBay and 2nd hand shops looking for a small CRT for my retro consoles, couldn't find one anywhere for a reasonable price or within a reasonable distance. Understandably they've nearly all been tipped, I think retro gaming is the only real use for them nowadays.

Isn’t it the only way the light gun works as well or is that just in arcade games?

Yes Phil, you need a CRT for the NES zapper. It blanks the screen when you pull the trigger except for a white hit box round the target and the sensor in the gun can tell if you're pointing at the white box for a hit or the black screen for a miss. I think that's how it works anyway

You’ve convinced me

Before I moved in with my other half I used to have a nice Sony CRT I'd use for super famicom, megadrive etc - I ended up giving it away in the end and buying an OSSC; it's hard to beat a crt, but thr OSSC box was well worth the money (much cheaper than a Framemeister upscaler too) - retrogames look awesome on a modern HDTV. Scaneline modes (I can't play without scanlines!...) look great and no video lag. Light guns won't won't work with it though.

This reminds me; in preparation for another move I'll be thining down my retrocollection - will put a for sale post on here soon for some Madcatz arcade sticks and likely a Sega Dreamcast

i wasn’t into gaming ever but i really regret giving away my 21” sony trinitron tv in full working order. i had it for >20 years and it was reliable and great picture for the time.

i also regret skipping about 50 17” & 21” crt monitors at work one year.
