Thankyou, I did not know these sticks were not interchangeable. Do you know if the 3TB still uses the 13 pin DIN plug?These are back in stock at Tops (they were out of stock for quite some time):

Note, however, that that the 3TB sticks are only compatible with the 1AV system (not the AV7000). If you have an AV7000 unit you need a 9000TB stick (which are out of production). In other words, the 3TB and 9000TB are not interchangeable.
Long live the 80's!I really like the colourway of that stick, definitely a late 80's throwback...
This is good to know, thankyou again!@xb74
According to Tops, the cable to connect the controller to the console is the same as the one used for the AV7000 and 9000TB, but the pins are different on the 1AV and 3TB, which causes the incompatibility.
i wrote them an email.I paid always by PayPal.
I just finalised my order. I didn't order through the website as such - I used the enquiry button on the item listing which initiates en email exchange. The persons written English was quite good. I also requested to have added a few things to the order via the email chain which was no problem for them. Very polite.I was reading thru the site..
it isn't exactly like the US where you just pay with credit card.. they want payments via banks?
has a non japanese speaking US person successfully order thru this site without a significant rise in blood pressure?
