Aside from dust, crud and corrosion on the shielding, it doesn't actually seem in half bad condition, really. It's currently running - quite happily, it seems, off a 9v Jaguar power supply.
Which surprises me, a lot of the reading I'd done suggested that I'd probably find a system suffering the "Black screen of death" problem, with a faulty PPU-1 or PPU-2. With so many variants of the basic chips across many board variants, a fault to one of these is effectively fatal.
Of course, Super Castlevania is an early title for the system, and off the top of my head there's a lot of points of failure this success doesn't rule out. But I honestly didn't expect to get a Super Famicom which is running as well as this one.
