    Best place for a Jap Saturn

    Guys,

    Just wanted to find out if you knew of anywhere online that I could get a reasonably priced Boxed Jap White Saturn???

    I currently have a UK Modded (Region & 60hz) version but the power block in the back has come loose & needs fixing & I'm really not comfortable doing it myself.
    So other than sending it off to be done which will cost a fortune I think I've decided to cut my losses & buy a Jap machine (Makes sense really as 90% of my games are jap anyway)
    But I cant see any for reasonable money...the good ones on Ebay from Hong Kong go for about ?75 including shipping plus whatever customs will rape me for so not really a viable option & Video Game Imports prices are just plain rediculous so I was wondering if you knew of any better options??

    Thanks for the help.

    Didn't you fix it??
    What was actually wrong with the power board?

      I had a quick look & it's just loose as far as I can tell but I really didnt feel too comfortable with the whole trying to glue it back incase the glue ran while it was setting or I over did it & then trying to put it back together after was a total mare

      I really am pretty useless with all this stuff so unless someone knows a cheap way to post it & who could repair it I think its a done machine (Will probably sell it once I do buy another to recoup some of the outlay for the Jap replacement)

        So, was it a model 1 or 2?
        My guess is, if you're gonna buy a JAP one, it'll probably be a model 2 (never seen a model 1 JAP)
        You could always use a hot glue gun to fix it, it's sturdy, yet very easy to shape afterwards...

        Also read the topic about this http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/showthread.php?t=63266,so if you're not in a hurry to buy one....

        ::thinking about moving to UK, much larger scene for me...::

          Thanks for that Shinebi...will kepp an eye out, I'm in no real rush TBH I have my DC & Under Defeat keeping me busy at the mo

          I'm pretty sure mine is a Mk2 (came in the smaller box with Round buttons??) it has served me well over the last 8 years (My brother bought it for me as my 21st birthday present) & out of all my consoles I'm pretty sure it's had the most use, still such a great machine & a real shame it failed
