Yellowed Nintendo Super Famicom (SHVC-001) given an electrical refresh rather than a cosmetic one. Replaced the voltage regulator and recapped the board (a few SMD values were missing on the day, so some caps are left as a future task), and touched up the solder on the controller ports and power jack. Smoke tested clean with Yoshi's Island. The shell was left yellowed, no retrobrite.

Retrobrited this Nintendo GameCube DOL-001 indigo over a couple of sessions and brought it up to fleet standard. It had a very dark hue so it's definitely better than it was.

My first experiment with the retrobriting method on a Nintendo Game Boy DMG-01. Not a perfect result, but a genuine improvement on the yellowed shell.
