NES A/V questions

[Click_Stick]

Ok... Did the NES come packed-in with an AV cable when it was being sold? I don't remember having anything other than a crappy RF cable..

Is there anywhere other than eBay to find some AV cables? Can you use... "ordinary" AV cables with the NES?

I use my N64/GC cables for it.

That must be the top-loader, Jeremy, 'cause the original has ports for a red and a yellow cable. I'd just go to Radio Shack and nab a couple.

Thanks... I was hoping that would do the trick.

Yep the original NES deck came with insanely long red and yellow RCA cables.

my Original ROB NES came with just regular A/V cables and what jeremy has MUST be a Famicom top loader because the NES Top Loader does not have the Multi-Out that the SNES, N64, or GC has

HOWEVER the japanese Famicom top loader did have that

Since every Famicom is a top loader, I think you mean the AV Famicom.

And the top-loader doesn't have any A/V outs at all. The SNES-and-after Nintendo cable won't do anything for your NES.

Especially since most Famicoms do not have A/V outs. Just the later models, which I believe resemble US top-loaders.

Oh NES, I thought it said SNES.

My mistake.
