This is a customizable order form for the NES and the various services offered. Please note that all costs listed are for service only, requiring you to ship not only the console but the mod/upgrade parts you have purchased yourself (with exception to the Full Recap Service and Expansion Audio Restore as I will provide the new capacitors from Console5 and resistors/QSB for Expansion Audio)
NESRGB Mod Install
The NESRGB mod courtesy of Tim Worthington will give you the best possible analog video signal out of your NES console! Utilizing the original NES PPU, a crisp and clear RGB signal is generated from the NESRGB board and then output via several connection options. By default the kit comes equipped with an 8 pin mini-din for use with your RGB scart cable of choice and outputs audio via a 3.5MM jack, or you can opt for an additional kit from Laser Bear Industries that will give you a SNES/N64 style AV Multi-Out port and enables you to use HDRetrovision or other YPbPr component cables.
NESRGB mod kits can be purchased from the following website:
ETIM Online Shop
AV Multi-Out kits can be purchased from the following website:
LaserBear Industries – Front Loader
LaserBear Industries – Top Loader
PLEASE NOTE: If you are requesting this service on an NES-101 “Top Loader” model, please be sure to purchase the correct package that includes the required adapter board!
Expansion Audio Restore
The NES can be modified to take advantage of extra sound channels normally limited to the Famicom systems, and several games can take advantage of this. This mod will restore this audio functionality to work with a correct famicom cart adapter or NES Everdrive cartridge by wiring up resistors to the expansion port pins, this also pairs well with the NESRGB mod and can be wired to the NESRGB board. This service includes the wiring/QSB and correct 47kohm/1kohm resistors
Full System Recap
Electrolytic Capacitors have an estimated shelf life of about 15 years and many of these old retro gaming systems are long past that time. Prevent unwanted power, video or audio issues by proactively replacing these in your NES system. If your NES is already exhibiting issues a failed capacitor could be the culprit and is usually a good first step in the diagnosis and repair. All capacitors will be replaced on the system motherboard and the RF/Power Modulator board with a cap kit from Console5 which I will provide for this service, included in the cost
Full Service Cleaning
After years of heavy use many consoles will exhibit accumulation of dirt, dust and debris and this can not only impact the aesthetic appearance of the system but dirty system components can impact component life and performance. Your console will be completely disassembled and cleaned from the inside out. All PCB and internal electrical components will have dust and debris removed via an electronic air compressor and then be cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol and brushed clean. Outer shell and other non-electronic components will be taken apart and soaked in a soap/water mixture and carefully scrubbed to remove stains and debris buildup. Any light markings, scuffs or other blemishes will be safely removed to the best of my ability. Once the console is re-assembled the outer shell will be given a coat of plastic UV protectant to restore shine and prevent UV damage
If you opt to choose my Full Service Cleaning (which is always recommended) I highly advise you consider a dust cover for your console! While your system will return to you in as pristine shape as possible, its important to protect it going forward as the coat of UV protectant won’t last forever.
