I found this interesting, it was a console built into a TV. Kinda like the VHS/TV combos you see.
Anyone ever found one of these, and for what price?

This was designed to be sold to hotels and smilar facilites. They are not common but they are not exactly unheard of, either. Probabaly someone around here has one or has seen one.

I'm pretty sure I saw one in someone's collection as well.

Out of curiosity, do you remember how much they went for?

It was Modman, and I think he traded it away for a low amount since the other guy drove 400 miles to get it - even though he didnt offer it to me and I would have driven that far!

Sharp also made a TV/Super Famicom called the Sharp Science Fiction-1 (SF-1 SNES TV). Someone here on the threads recently posted theirs in a collections vid. I've been lusting for one of these things for years.

Have heard plenty news of console built-in TV when I was living in Taiwan, and just as the article said, these TV sets are not cheap! Sharp was and still is a close partner with Nintendo (a good portion of the 3DS technology is from Sharp!).

So from Sharp there's the TV/Console combo and Sharp's line of Famicom (mentioned in Famicom Dojo), but those are limited to JP market, and I expect them to fetch a high price tag. Thou I would exercise some caution, as there will be no spare parts for replacement.
