I want to warn you, top-loaders are very over-rated. First off the picture quality is low, I've noticed small black lines during some games, they come and go though. And there's no A/V output. They are also very hard to find and fetch high prices on ebay.

What I recommend is to find a front-loader and replace the contacts in it. MCM Electronics http://www.i-mcm.com/welcome.jhtml has them, enter "Nintendo Type 72 Pin Connector" into the site's product search box. They work like a dream with new contacts. Trust me.

If you want a clone try asking in rec.games.video.classic. Most are only 60 pin but you could always use a converter.
