 Just finished this. Not the prettiest, but it should be enough. Cap kits should be available soon from console5.com/store/ |

Thanks! It would be useful to know what symptoms you had and whether or not things improved after you recapped it. I know from your other thread that you had "weird colour and a twisted scrolling image," so did the cap job resolve those things for you? Any improvement at all?

Whoa, thanks for bumping this. I have one of these which had become quite dim, and quiet the last time I used it (it had been several years), so I should probably go in and fix it up.

Hey guys, just a small update - I missed two boards that were RF shielded near the back. I think one is the tuner, the other is the video circuit. You need low-ish profile caps for both, 7mm just because they're completely encased. Hopefully this fixes my issue, but see the attached images

I put this down for ... several years. But now I know a bit more, I'm fairly certain a recap of the video board will do it. I think it's bad caps sending skewed timing to the IC on the video board. |
