I've too much emotional attachement to disembowel my Nes!
And I don't want to replace it either.
I'm looking for a plug and play solution like the RAD2X for the Nes with a RCA input.

@Twilite9 If that's the case find yourself a CRT TV then. Try a thrift store, or garage sale. I find that plug n play solutions rarely work and only deliver an ok experience that left me disappointed. As great as the NES is, is just not meant for modern tvs for obvious reasons.

That's not an option either as I don't have the space for a CRT TV.
I wish Nintendo would make something themselves.

@Twilite9 There's really no reason for Nintendo to make anything like that, they stopped supporting the NES years ago. The only thing that they have the closest to supporting the NES is their lineup of Classic NES games for the Nintendo Online.

I wouldn't necessarily say buying a clone console is replacing your NES more like retiring it. I got the retrousb AVS so I could give my NES a long deserved rest, especially because I was worried that if it broke or stopped working, I would have been upset. Finding replacement parts for the NES isn't easy either.

@Twilite9 If you are determined to use the system that you have, there are some options. I had to do a bit of searching since the NES is one system I never really looked into hooking up to modern TVs. From what I can tell, the best options to get good results are the Retrotink 2x mini and the Retrotink 2x pro. They cost more than the Rad2x cables, but the NES is not as easy to deal with which is why there's no version for that. The 2x mini is out of stock at the Retrotink site, but you may be able to get one elsewhere like on ebay(there's one there at the moment). Here is a video that might help you if you decide to look into this some more:
