Recap

Recapped a tatty Nintendo Game Boy Advance (AGB-001) with fresh electrolytics inside, so the internals are sorted while the worn shell and screen remain a work in progress.

Reached for some low hanging fruit in the collection. This tatty GBA is now recapped, shell and screen still look like crap. Will get around to replacing these one day. #RETROGAMING #Nintendo #GameBoy
