Clear blue/clear

the site listed it as NTSC, so Im hoping its been modded to accept my carts/isnt 50hz. In any case, if it dont work they do returns.

a little googling and it seems like all N64s are internally the same (someone correct me if Im wrong though), at least, and will function according to the region of the cartridge thats loaded, so the only thing Id have to do is modify the cart slot I think?

The fully ice blue one is NTSC but this is is an ice blue top with a clear bottom tray. It was part of the second Funtastic generation and there was also a clear red/clear one.

yeah, I don't think region-locking was a thing back then

I have an Xplorer 64 (basically a gameshark), and while it is PAL it still works in my NA N64. It obviously doesn't work on an NTSC CRT TV (it is almost impossible to see anything), but I can see (black and white tho) fine on a more modern TV.

An update to this, its a JPN console with the plastic tray removed, making it functionally region free

Yeah the N64 has bits of plastic in the console and cartridges as a form of region locking. I remember my local rental store back in the day got the JPN version of Star Fox 64 a month before the NA version was released. I rented it and played it with no issue on my NA console. My dad and I got such a kick out of Slippy screaming in Japanese.
