So this one takes a bit of background understanding but the buy off is worth it. All I could find on this here were these images so allow me to explain. The pictured NES is the one we all know and love. Nintendo came out with a 2nd generation NES that loaded from the top and was half the size. The reason for top loading is because the old school NES had one design flaw, the 72 pin cartridge connection that actually read the games. These 72 pin connectors can be cleaned to a certain extent or bought new via ebay. Replacing them doesn't take much more than a screwdriver. What this person did took a great deal of desoldering and time. However, the final result is an NES that no longer uses the ill fated 72 pin connector and now plugs pretty much straight into the motherboard. Thus insuring a long life for an already almost indestructible machine.-kaokensho
