LutherDestroysTheGond | 690 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I have had a Donkey Kong 3-screw cart for years and just stumbled upon a 5-screw Silent Service two weeks ago at a local shop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowser | 598 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 @Hybrid Do you think this is just a sun faded cart or an actual printing error? https://www.ebay.com/itm/391931782753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red and green were missed out. The seal of quality is still in perfect condition and the black lettering on the sides also looks good. Cart doesn't look yellow either. Edit: Maybe you're right. I went through Google images and only blue seems to remain after extreme fading. Edited April 1, 2020 by bowser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyansas | 131 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hey there. I was on the NA variants list, so I'm back, so to speak. Here's a stack of all the rare variants I have, the closeup on the N7s and US Gyromite, as well as individual pictures for the games that aren't listed yet. I'm buying and paying up $$$$$$ for variants I don't have yet! Hit me up! Will trade the multiples I have. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PII | 1,883 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Back on NA There were 2 Users who had a 3-Screw Stinger, one of whom was in possession of 2 copies. There was also some talk, I think, about someone having found a non-hangtab Stinger Box. I acquired mine in late November last year, personally, as part of a larger lot.

Hybrid | 424 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 ok everything updated including one from me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PII | 1,883 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Here's as much as I know, based on my cart: It has flathead screws and a back label with "07" for an assembly line number (A quick perusal of available 5-screw copies on Ebay indicated "12" as the most common number. The only other I saw was "09") The coding on the circuit board chips is nearly identical to a 5-screw copy I compared it to except for one chain of figures on one of the two main chips - 6BL31 for the 3screw & 6CB31 for the 5screw. Also, no REV-A on the back label. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three screw stinger is irrefutably legitimate. There is a box floating out there with no Hangtab and a REV-A on top of the circle seal of quality. It’s as rare as 5-Screw Stadium Events, though significantly less valuable....I still do not have board pictures of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't keep too close of a tally on screw number variants, but I really didn't think that one existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherDestroysTheGond | 690 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 One of the NA users who had a 3-screw Stinger (maybe the first documented copy on NA) went by the username Bee Kay iirc. He was the only NA member I met in person for 2 transactions but seemingly fell off the face of the Earth a few years ago. Idk if he still has it or if it has changed hands since then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Courtesy of @DK I believe he sold it years ago on NA before even knowing what he had :\ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a single digit number not double digit meaning it doesn’t say “09”. Kind of hard to see based on the pictures, if anyone can tell me if it’s original or not I’d appreciate it.

Hybrid | 424 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Definitely matches the one I took off of eBay. The only other NES game to have an upside down back label was excitebike which has it in the opposite corner and right side up (21) Which just tells me that yours was right side up when stamped but applied upside down excitebike was upside down when stamped and applied to the cart. I believe yours to be 100% authentic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also included the manual. There's also a loose cartridge that predates this one by a few months, however I lost the photo and date of the listing. It may as well not exist, however I know the person who currently owns it, so it's not lost...it's just "MIA" right now. Lastly, there's the CIB copy that was discovered on April 23, 2016. It was purchased for $5.00 along with a bunch of other random CIB NES, Coleco, and Atari games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
