famicom disk system??

[0078265317]

I know they are expensive and all now. But I found one on ebay 60 dollars. No box. Just red famicom disk system unit, ram adapter for connecting to famicom, and ac adapter. Need new belt but boots to fds bios intro screen so can't be dead just needs a new belt looks like. Is that a fair price? And are the belts expensive or hard to replace?

Im not sure on that one.
The belt problems are common place on the disc systems.

(In short you can buy them off Nintendo Japan or use a normal rubber band as long as its exactly the right size)

I did not buy it. I made an offer and it was refused. There are some 100 ones might be better but with a broken belt it might not be worth it if it is too hard to replace.
