iFixit tears apart the Nintendo Famicon

[wraggster]

Do you remember the Nintendo Family Computer, or Famicon? Well, you might not -- it came to earth in 1983 and was Japan's version of the NES. Now, continuing its week of vintage teardowns, iFixit's gotten its hands on one of these colorful gems and done what it does. The Famicon is pretty easily dismantled, and simple inside, as well. As you can see, there's almost nothing going on in there! There's one more photo below, but hit up the source link for the full set.

I think you mean "Famicom" not Famicon. It was called Famicom because its a conjoined name for Family Computer. Very nice article though
