This one threw everything at me: 3D printed gears, a dead laser, a Discman sacrifice and a spindle height mystery, before a full recap finally brought it home. Worth every frustrating hour of it.

The laser needed replacing; without a new one it would refuse to read games 99% of the time.

Two spare GameCube drives recapped. One came back to life, one didn't. The dead one reads 30 ohms on the motor where the working one is OL, which might point to a dead motor.

A bit of an identity crisis: DOL-001 board in a DOL-101 shell, transplanted there many moons ago. Optical drive recapped as part of the GameCube maintenance day.

The silver one kicked off the mainboard recap campaign across the whole GameCube fleet. Razor sharp Tetris blocks to celebrate.

A backwards compatible CECHB00 that would accept and eject discs but not read them. The tray mechanism needed lubing and once done, it read PS1, PS2 and PS3 without complaint.

This one gave me a scare mid-recap when it lost the picture entirely. Turned out to be a resistor knocked off during SMD cap removal; found it sitting on the paper towel and put it back. Also gained a new transport gear and an RGB amp.

A PAL DOL-101 with a PicoBoot install using a WiiKey as the storage interface. Turned out the mainboard had almost entirely polymer caps, making the recap a very quick affair.

My personal orange spice GameCube. Started life with a Picoboot and later upgraded to a FlippyDrive. The optical drive also got fresh caps as part of a GameCube maintenance day.

A couple of GameCubes restored and fitted with Xeno chips for friends. Wind Waker was reportedly played immediately.
