Hello how are you I am fine thank you

How often should routine maintenance be done on console and handhelds

Is there a resource database that tells you all of this for every console? Like when do I maintain my Vectrex and what do I do, but also I need to know about Virtual Boy and Master System and NES and PS1 ect

Thanks

If your system has never been touched internally then it would be good (if you know how) to replace every capacitor in the system.

Then it will last another 20+ years without needing maintenance more than likely.

Capacitors are the #1 problem in electronics not working.

Ok thank you. How to I find out which capacitors I need and should buy? I never did replaced capacitors before

You google that shit NIGGA
Also watch youtube videos.
You can also usually find full capacitor kits needed for your system to buy at once like on ebay and stuff

Actually I wouldnt buy these my bad, 20 dollars for a few capacitors is a scam

Its better to find out which ones you need and get them for a few dollars instead

yes but I am retarded so maybe the convenient price is good

I didn't see Vectrex capacitors on eBay, I should googled lol

it's not really a scam. its just priced higher since they are adding another middle man selling the service of prepackaging them. Restaurants charge more for food but they aren't scams.

>every capacitor
only the electrolytics and even then it's not really necessary

for veccy there's alignment you can do, i've seen it online before
