Title: NES Test Center carts
Post by: NES_Rules on November 01, 2006, 05:26:50 PM
I saw this on eBay.  Its a set of 6 Test Center carts.  I don't know anything about them, but they seem to be cheap, so I thought I'd give you guys a heads up.  http://cgi.ebay.com/Test-Center-Carts-set-of-six-NES-Nintendo-NTF2-Zelda_W0QQitemZ140046069122QQihZ004QQcategoryZ62053QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks for the heads up.  I've seen the guy relist this auction a couple of times -- I think it's due to the condition of the test carts, since the price doesn't seem too bad (they usually sell for 150-250 each).

Speaking of test carts, I recently found out about a German collector who has a PAL-B test cartridge for the Four Score & Satellite...as far as I know no other PAL test carts have been found (nor any NTSC test cartridge for the Four Score & Satellite).  The label was also on top of a SMB label, so I doubt that it had any production run.  A guy on NESWorld did come across a test cart on the German eBay once, but I'm pretty sure it ended up being NTSC.

Speedy do you have a pic or can you get one of the Four Score test cart.  I have never heard of any PAL ones.  Something else I have to try and find now ???

This same guy has listed these test carts and a damaged NWC several times now, they are decent prices, but the condition on them is pretty bad.  I would give him 1000 for the NWC though ;D

Good luck tracking one down, I'll keep my eyes open, but I don't think it'll be easy since it may have been a one-of-a-kind. The guy who the collector bought it from got it from a Nintendo employee.
