Yellowed Nintendo Super Famicom (SHVC-001) shell, no problem. Recapped, cleaned and retrobrighted; could not match all the SMD values on the day so a few remain as a future task.

Just because it's yellowed, it doesn't mean it doesn't deserve love. So it's getting treated today. #RETROGAMING #restoration

Touched up the solder on the controller ports and power jack. Replaced the voltage regulator and capacitors, sadly, not all, I was missing some values in SMD format. Will need to fix that later.

Smoke testing with Yoshi's Island. No smoke, fortunately. 😜 #Nintendo #SuperMario #Yoshi
