Title: NES console revisions Post by: NES_Rules on November 12, 2008, 11:54:16 AM I did a little bit of research on my 6 spare NES consoles, and there are a few slight variations I've found.
The differences are copyright years on the board, the board's part #, and the number of screws holding down the shield. The boards also seem to all have the same components, just slightly reorganized. Serial # Copyright Board Part # # of screws N20170596 1986 NES-CPU-04 7 N0722522 1986 NES-CPU-04 7 N10601195 1987 NES-CPU-04 ? N2750626 1987 NES-CPU-06 7 N12358433 1987 NES-CPU-07 7 N27335096 1987 NES-CPU-10 7 N21630969 1987 NES-CPU-10 7 N27290693 1987 NES-CPU-10 7 N30328117 1987 NES-CPU-11 7 N14277583 1989 NES-CPU-08 8 N28859435 1987 NES-CPU-11 7 I'm trying to find a pattern between the Serial # and the copyright and board part #, but I don't have enough consoles info, I've got 4 more systems to check, but I'll still need more, so anyone with an NES I would appreciate it if you could check your system for these criteria.

N30328117 1987 NES-CPU-11 7 I'll check my other two when i get a chance. (When messing around with your nes always unplug it then press the power button on and off a couple off times.) Title: NES console revisions Post by: ApolloBoy on November 15, 2008, 02:58:46 AM Here's mine:

Very cool though. What made you decide to check this all out? Title: Re: NES console revisions Post by: Izret101 on November 26, 2008, 07:41:15 PM Serial # Copyright Board Part # # of screws
N10601195 1987 NES-CPU-04 ??? Could only get to one of my NES for now. Not sure on the number of screws it could be 7 it could be 8 but i took this apart so long ago i don't remember anymore. Title: Re: NES console revisions Post by: NES_Rules on November 26, 2008, 08:03:57 PM What made you decide to check this all out? Logical123 made a thread about NES console variants (http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=7646.0) and I told him there were differences in the number of screws holding down the shield, as that was one I knew of off the top of my head. And then I happened to be taking apart several NES systems to clean and noticed the different other stuff on them. I tried to find a pattern relating the serial # to the copyright year or board #. But I didn't have enough to find a pattern, so I made a post in Logical's thread and eventually it got moved to a separate thread. And thanks to those who have contributed to this, it's much appreciated. |
