Had another AES join the queue for an RGB Bypass, Unibios, recap & cleaning. I stock all revision Console5 cap kits as I can’t know which one it will be until it’s here and that adds extra delay. That said, I don’t see 3-1 here in the shop often I

In the ‘Hall Of Fame’ for most annoying consoles to work on, we have a new winner to crown and frankly its not even close 😅 This fancy piece of kit was shipped to me all the way from Mexico and luckily made it here safely. Customer wanted it refurbished

I work on a ton of XBOX consoles but still always cool to see a special edition (like this Halo version) come into the shop! This unit was fully functional, customer just wanted it to have a complete overhaul and refurbishment. The biggest concern on all but the 1.6 models

Talk about a console you don’t see often! This is actually the 3rd Jaguar CD I’ve had come into the shop in 2026 so far, more than all my previous years combined! Pretty simple consoles but a few finicky parts and common issues worth checking on while its fully disassembled!

Out of the 49 (soon to be 50!) systems I offer services for, N64 will always be one of my favorites. Not just because I love the console itself but because these things are like tanks, incredibly reliable and well-built while also being super easy to disassemble and work on.

The GameCube continues to be a very popular console for service here at JRG, and up next is another DOL-001 with an attached GameBoy player for a full refurbishment! Full Service Cleaning was selected so immediately after unboxing all shell and plastic parts were fully taken apart including the 2
