PAL Elite no like NTSC top-loader NES

Just in case anyone else was wondering, you can't play the UK version of Elite (a PAL game) on an NTSC top-loading NES. In fact, it looks broken just like what I see in NesterDC, with graphics corruption and misaligned sprites/background.

I'm sending the cartridge to Ruffin for testing on his NEX.

While it's off on that little trip, anyone want to give me a good line on finding an inexpensive, real PAL NES? I'm not looking for a clone, unless Ruffin's testing goes well...
