NES Clone
I haven't been able to find much info on this system, but I have tried to include as much as I can. I know it is an NES clone model SGT-6072A.
The front is obviously different from the original NES. The Power and Reset buttons are on the right and are rounded black switches.
The Power LED is located just above the Power switch. The connectors for the controllers are on the right and are rotated 90 degrees to the left.
The label above them says "1 Turbo Pad 2". The door on the front does not flip up, but rather swings in as a cartridge is inserted. Cartridges
do not go all of the way in, but stick out about a half-inch or so.
There are two significant features to the top of the machine. One is the Eject button on the right hand side. To remove a front loaded
cartridge, you have to pull the Eject button forward. This mechanically pushes the cartridge out of the front. The second feature is the
other cartridge connector accessed by lifting up the cover panel! This connector accepts Famicom cartridges, and you have to pull them out to remove them.
The back of the machine has two differences (other than the Eject button). The first is that the channel selector switch is missing. More about that in a minute.
The second is that the Power connector is 9VDC@0.1A instead of the 9VAC@1.3A that the NES uses. The RF output is basically the same.
The right side of the box has the usual Audio and Video outputs. But, if you inspect it closely, you can see that there is a hole to the left of the two outputs that is
covered by the label. I believe that hole was where the channel selector switch is supposed to be, but wasn't added. The result is that this unit is fixed to
channel 3 for the RF output.
I have done some testing with this unit, and have found it to be a very nice system, particularly for an NES collector in the U.S. The unit is NTSC compatible. It doesn't
have the "toaster" style system used on U.S. systems, so hopefully the connector will last for a good while. And, it accepts Famicom cartridges without the need for
an adapter. The only complaint I have is that the sound quality is a little worse than my NES, but this may just be a condition of this particular unit, and not representative of
the system in general.
This is a picture of one of the two controllers that came with the system. It has the standard NES connector on it. In addition to the
directional controller, A and B buttons, and Start and Select buttons, it also has two Turbo buttons (in yellow), and a Slow Motion button
on the side below the Start and Select buttons.
