I'm on the hunt for one of these in functioning condition ...

Let  me know if you have an extra and would be willing to part with it.
Thanks for your help!

That particular converter is a b!tch to find... They were only sold in China, never in Nippon.

I also don't understand why everyone wants a Honeybee.  It may just be because it's the only one they know, but there are several other converters out there that are a lot cheaper and will do the exact same thing.

Well, the only two commonly on the market are the Family Converter, which has no case (bare PCB) and the Yobo adapter which is complete garbage and doesn't work with the PowerPak.

The Honeybee adapter, and the black converters that I found are known to be PowerPak friendly, good for audio mods, and are cased products.

The Family Adapter is also 100% PowerPak compatible, but it's a bare PCB with exposed components, so aside from this alone turning people off from using it, it has the drawbacks of not being ejectable (by using the eject button) and being a little unstable if you bump into your Famicom (or pull too hard on the controller).

I was going to make cases for the Family Converter until i found these other converters... Now, I want to produce a run of these... 'Tisn't easy or cheap though, so I'm waiting until I have at least two of my other open projects finished first.

Thus, it's possible that people see kout the Honeybee adapters for these reasons. I think the gold colour looks a bit horrific on the Honeybee converters though. If they were electroplated like the US Zelda carts, that's be fine, but the bronze paint isn't all that appealing.

Are there any adapters that I'm missing from the list? I know of these four off-hand.
