I have 2 old game consoles, a HD sega genesis/mega drive and a Saturn.
I hardly use the the genesis but with it being so old and having so many caps I thought about replacing them. All the caps look good. No venting or bulging caps to be seen. and the Saturn almost no electrolytic capacitors to begin with, but I play it alot. and I mean a lot. Too much. I know sega cheep out with the caps on the later Saturn's witch I have and the the early genesis had ok caps but its about 25 years old now.
I'd rather buy a kit for them, as apposed to finding out every cap I need and buying them. I don't think bad caps even has the caps I would need, could be wrong.
Both consoles show no sings of having bad caps and work fine. But given their age I should think about recapping them. I bet the genesis would have a lot better sound and video output If I recapped it.
What are your thoughts?
