Getting some maintenance workout out of the way. Capacitor replacement on the #Nintendo Satellaview and Super #Famicom. Playing some #StreetFighter II Turbo to check if everything is fine with the Super Famicom. #RETROGAMING

A spot of #retrobrighting to cleanup a #Nintendo #Satellaview shell. Not perfect but I'd say a marked improvement. #RETROGAMING
