I bought this lot on a danish auction site
http://my.qxl.dk/accdb/viewitem.asp?IDI=517678532
I has 15 games, 13 in rental boxes, one CIB and one loose (Ice Climber Pack-in) I immediately noticed a small sticker on the box for the NES deck as I had seen it on an old advertisement back from 1987/88, so this NES deck had to be one of the first to be released in Scandinavia?
Well with a serial number being PE024542 this must be correct, but also the fact that it plays pirate carts, color dreams, american video entertainment and such without any use of a converter proves that this baby is from the early days! yeehaw! :-)
Funny thing is that it doesn't like Tengen carts, just blinks on and off like a NES would normally do.
Anyway what a catch! I originally wanted to sell the NES console as I only wanted the rental games, but now I'm keeping this baby :-)
Oh yeah the unit was won in a contest held by a local danish tv station back in january 1988, a congratulations letter had survived in excellent condition inside the NES box.
