WTB: Sega Saturn Parts and import saturn systems

[A Murder of Crows]

howzit

i'm hunting down some sega saturn parts. I'd like to get some stock of 32 Leg CD-ROM drives, any US systems made in April 1996, power supplies from all systems, controller port boards, and shells.

i'm *ESPECIALLY* interested in Model 1 (grey and blue, oval buttons) Japanese saturn shells and controllers and HiSaturn systems and controllers.

if you have any of these items, please contact me

thank you

I have a model 1 us saturn, not sure of the manufacture date sitting in a box under my bed. Worked 100% last I checked, if it's april (will check when I get home), I could probably be persuaded to part with it.

i read your post in the saturn forum. if that system is an April 96, you are gonna wanna keep it. April 96 systems are 21 pin.

thanks for the offer!

Well, I know it's 20 pins, so that means it's not april ^_^;

just out of curiousity, what is the rule of thumb datewise and model # wise for the different Saturn types. i mean, i know the oval button, round button thing, but if i knew exactly how to get a 21 ribbon with a 21 IC, i would be really happy. Would make the trips to the pawn shop lots easier. Thanks.

actually, nevermind, i just checked out the thread on this very topic. whoops. anyways, hope the saturn info guides continue to progress! On another note, if anyone has a 32 leg IC cdrom board (for a 21 pin system), i would be interested in buying it thanks

actually, we hit a sorta snag....only US saturns have the dates on them....all the JPN and PAL ones, according to reports, have no way to tell on the outside what month/year they were made. i want to look into the possibility of the serial number or something like that being a partial date code
