NeoGeo Cd for parts (interest check)
« on: May 07, 2014, 01:42:16 PM »
I have a Neo CD toploader that is basically in a "for parts/repair" condition type of situation. Motherboard, video/power board, and controller board look to be intact and in good condition. The cd drive along with the cd drive controller board is in a separate box. The cd drive seems to be missing the top black plastic piece/dust guard, that covers the rails. I dont even remember how I got this thing. It was back when I had a lot of Neo Cd stuff, thats all I remember. At any rate I dont know if any of it is any good. No way to test, no use for the thing. I know some people like to gut these and use them in CMVS projects, which is the only reason I kept it around. If someone wants it, make me a offer. Per usual, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and Sega Cd/Mega Cd games are accepted in a reasonable trade of some sort.

No, just the system, no power supply, no controllers. Thats why I don't know if the board inside is any good or not.

Yeah sucks. If it ends up no one wants it I'm just going to stip the caps off the board if they still test as good, and maybe the Sony CX encoder and controller board also, and ditch everything else in the trash. Hate to do that but I really don't have the storage space to spare for this kind of stuff anymore.

I may also be interested in the laser, and perhaps the controller. I don't know the going price on dead NGCDs. Ballpark figure?

The laser is there, but I have no idea if it works.  There are some screws missing on this thing. The main boards look good, no blown caps. The shell looks good but I suspect the post that held the cd drive in place were repaired at one time, as a couple of them have epoxy around them. There is no damage on the outside area of the shell, so I can not gauge what the epoxy was laid out for on those post, if it was minor cracks, etc, or if the prior owner was worried they were not sturdy enough to hold the laser or what. They feel stiff to me.

I couldn't begin to place any real value on this thing, and I think it should only be looked at as for parts, to either help repair another system, or to gut and use to make a CMVS. I'm not going to piece it out. Whoever wants it needs to take the entire thing. I'm not positive, but I am thinking this came to me as a junk item from Hit-Japan. It has been probably 5 years since I screwed around with the thing.

I had like 5 Neo Cd decks at one point and I recall two of them being bought as junk items for parts, at around 40 bucks each. I just don't know if this is the one that came from Hit-Japan or not, but I suspect not because I don't think they would have sent it missing screws and shit. Anyway, I wouldn't say for me it would be worth more then a couple games or whatever, and even at that point just as motivation to make me pack it up and pay to ship it out, since I would be responsible for shipping cost also.

I actually just got an AC adapter from Japan but the console was sold before I could grab that as well.  I'd be interested, but I'm afraid if it's not working it would just sit on my desk and stare at me with disdain.

Yeah and I wouldn't bank on this being a system that could be fully useable. It should only be considered for fixing up another one, etc.
