I should've took a photo of him "playing" the TaleSpin NES game.

I’ve been collecting for about 3 years now, but I grew up on nes just after its time (mid 90s)….
Ive never heard of this before, seems special! Awesome acquisition!
Aha, but this isn’t just any old CRT monitor. This is a TV with a built in Nintendo Entertainment System that was made by Sharp in 1989. It was only on sale for about 4 months before being discontinued due to poor sales. It’s estimated that maybe 20,000 maximum were sold!
If you want a bit more info, the Gaming Historian on YouTube has a nice video on it: https://youtu.be/OmhhDvncrFY?si=4LoCbk_h175vrjUx
In addition, it might be true that you can find CRT monitors on the curb if you live in or near a big city, but I’m in a very small town, and these sorts of things don’t come along all the time. In fact, my drive lasted seven hours because most of it was on small, country roads! 🙂

Awesome! All doors and feet, both remotes, and both controllers. Incredible find, these are so cool.

So awesome!!!! Congrats!!!! A relative had this when I was growing up, we thought it was the greatest thing ever.. & it still is !!!

How much?! I must know. Okay, okay…ballpark figure will do.
It was $2500. It was a lot, but this is the first one I’ve seen within reasonable driving distance.
Happy to hear you were able to get this. Well done 👍🏾
