Interesting – I’ll pick some up if the red matches pretty closely! 🙂

Here’s some photo comparisons for you. The head band is quite a few shades away but the actual ear pieces match closer. The phones are cheap to buy and they do feel delicate but I’m not going to bash them about and they are for exclusive use with my VB. I’ve not used them yet so unsure on sound quality.

Cool additions! I just love playing Galactic Pinball, probably sunk over 200 hours in it haha.

I love Galactic Pinball too. When I had my first VB with Teleroboxer, Mario Tennis, Mario Clash and Galactic Pinball, it was pinball I played over all the others 90% of the time.

3 more Jap games added to my collection…

I’ll be sure to take a side by side photo for you.

I’ve decided on these after browsing hundreds on ebay. I thought they’d fit the VB’s styling rather well and they aren’t overly branded with the makers logo. I’ll let you know what they are like once they arrive.

Looks great. Colours match really well and the infinite mirror is a nice touch.

Nice parcel arrived this morning. Gives a nice injection to the collection.

I’ve only played Mario Tennis for one match. I literally had the unit on my lap, sat down and arched forward.

I used to play my first one with the unit on it’s stand on my bed and me knelt on the floor beside the bed. Quite comfortably if I remember correctly. Think I may of even played lying on the bed wit the VB just resting on my shoulders and head.

How about these?

I don’t think I’d get on with those. Bit fiddle looking. I’m used to over the head, band, type ones. Cheap though. 🙂

Here she is. Box and innards in excellent condition and console is mint and works 100%. Chuffed to bits.

Well, finally got round to arranging to buy a VB. Picking it up tomorrow just after lunch all being well. Private sale via my VB Fans page on Facebook.

It’s the US boxed version with Mario Tennis. Also buying V-Tetris off him. All in mint condition and fully working.

Can’t wait to get playing VB again. Next game to acquire is Galactic Pinball, my fave VB game.

Thanks. Didn’t even know you could buy from Yahoo. Do you have a link per chance?

Wanted it to be new old stock as obviously no chance of cracked stands or viewer image problems.

The stand will probably be in good condition, but don’t bet on the displays being in perfect working order, even on an NRFB unit. The degradation isn’t caused by use, but by time. Even if they do work right off the bat, you’ll probably want to have them soldered to prevent them going bad in the future. When you find one, I suggest you contact TheForce81 and have it done.

Thanks. What’s a ball park figure for that kind of work?

I’ve only quickly browsed ebay and they seem to be in the region of £300 for a near mint new old stock unit only. I was leaning towards the idea of being happy of this. Not sure where else to look to be honest. Wanted it to be new old stock as obviously no chance of cracked stands or viewer image problems.

I’ve already started my collection off with a boxed US version of Mario Tennis. Got that probably a year or two ago now.

Thanks. Will probably pick up a Jap version then as I think the box art work is a lot cleaner and more appealing to me.
