Your friend Wolfsbora is actively seeking multiple retro consoles. These include: Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, Atari Lynx, Atari Jaguar, TurboGrafx 16 (PC Engine Core Grafx), 3DO, Sega Saturn, SNES, NES, NeoGeo AES, and Nintendo Virtual Boy. The box and all accessories would be greatly appreciated, but not necessary.
NES flashing light can be fixed by cutting a pin on the 10NES lockout chip on the motherboard. https://youtu.be/LLMCj2VosLc Don't let that discourage you from buying it, Wolf.
@Ragsters PM me with a price! I am most definitely looking for a Lynx!
@punker I'm good on Nintendo consoles. I have 2 working NES, 2 working SNES & 1 for parts, 2 N64s, 2 Genesis gen 1 & 1 gen 2 + 32x adapter, 2 Dreamcasts, 2 GameCubes. BUT, if you have games I am definitely interested.
@neurotix have you tried that new 72 pin NES connector that is gold plated and mounts the game horizontally so you don't push the game down. It is a perma-fix for the 72 pin connector issue. I can't find the link though. The Gaming Historian featured it on YouTube. Looks great. May try it. Just wish it wasn't $30.

Nope I haven't tried it. I have tried replacement normal 72-pin connectors from Ebay (they work well for a while, maybe a year) and I have tried boiling the stock 72-pin connector. The boiling method really works pretty well. Though, you still need to keep your games clean, clean them when you first get them, and *gasp* blow on them sometimes to get them working. It still isn't 100%. There's a video about boiling the connector as well as cutting the lockout chip pin on the first page of the retro club. I'd suggest you watch and try them both first before spending lots of money on another solution.
That's the great thing about that $30 72 pin, it removes the lockout too.
