SNES receptacles available

Post by AtomicZombie »

I am having a large order of SNES receptacles made for a project I am working on. These are the same ones needed by UZEBox, so I was wondering of there is any interest here for the parts.
I would be able to sell a pair of them for $9.95, possibly less if there is enough demand.

I know it has been difficult to find these, and ripping apart a classic SNES is sacrilege!
If anyone is interested, please email me at... atomic at atomiczombie.com

I will wait a month or so to see if there is enough interest to order extra, which will help offset the cost for the part needed in my own project.

Cheers!

Hey Brad,

5$ a pop is a bit expensive. What's the break qty? Back then we were able to source them for about 1$ each. I think we had to buy 2000 though. I still have the contact, send me a PM if you'd like to contact them for a quote. Who knows you could have a better price and it's possible to have connectors with right angle pins instead of the straight ones I have. Much easier to solder..

Thanks, will do!
It sure takes time to get info from these China manufacturers, but I think I may be able to get a similar price by the 1000. Still waiting to hear from them.
