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 as I will provide the new capacitors from Console5)
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!
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
72-Pin Slot Restoration
Is your NES not able to consistently read carts? Over time the 72-Pin connector can become unreliable due to oxidation/corrosion, loosened grip and other issues. There are now finally some reliable quality aftermarket cart slots out there (Nintendrawer and Slotmaster) but if you would prefer to keep the system stock and restore functionality this service covers the removal, boiling, deep cleaning and careful tensioning of all the pins to restore original grip. The pins will also be lightly coated with Deoxit after cleaning
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
