This is a customizable order form for the Sega Mark III 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 System Recap as I will provide the new capacitors from Console5)
Mark III RGB Bypass
While the Mark III has RGB output via the 8 pin din natively, it is not amplified and won’t work with most RGB Scart cables you will find. This RGB Bypass from Zaxour taps the signals from the VDP and through a circuit/amp and out a new 10 pin mini din to use with any Sega Saturn RGB scart cable. This also drastically cleans up the jailbars from stock image which are quite noticeble especially on an upscaler
You can buy the Bypass kit from his Ko-Fi here:

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 M3. If your Mark III 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 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
