All of them...

My SFC's reset button just died. Luckily I still had 3 broken SNESes. So I desoldered the reset button from one of those and put it in the SFC. Reset button works like a charm now... ^^

Now imagine I had thrown those spares away...

PS SNESes?... Is that even a word?...

I keep a few system backups in case of emergancy i put them in a tote in the closet and mark them as working or not with a dry erase marker. Broken systems i note what is wrong with it so i can know what parts are available.
I keep back up sat,dc,gba sp, ps2, nes,snes, n64 in case of emergancy or a pal in need.

They're all built like-a-rock. Wanna sell me your spare Sega CD with it's impervious CD-tray gear fully intact?
