Nes Freak | 584 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) SOLD! This nes test station has been thoroughly tested and professionally cleaned, recapped and restored by me. ive had many years of electronic work under my belt and used a hakko de soldering gun to do the job right. the capacitors are all high quality Japanese capacitors by companies like Nichicon, Panasonic, Rubycon and more. it has been clean of all dust and dirt to a shine and is in outstanding condition! Recapping one of these is no walk in the park and to my knowledge this is the only test station to get a full recap job, future proofing it. electrolyte capacitors have a limited life span of 30 years give or take. the TV comes with the unit and is original to this machine. it had some capacitors and buttons replaced dust cleaned out and works great! the tv tube does have burn in from the TV being left on 8 to 10 hours a day for years in the repair center. this is normal. ive never seen a test station with its tv that doesn't have some burn in. it all depends on how the repair centers treated their units. 5499 via paypal. shipping is with full insurance signature requirement and professionally packed please send me your address so i can find out the cost to ship to you! i can do local pick up too! PM me if interested! i can answer any question you may have Thanks! From a smoke free home! Edited June 29, 2021 by Nes Freak 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel it's a disservice to remove part of its history. #BurntTubesDeserveToRunAgain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMario | 10 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 How about we change it from burn in to "Digital Patina"? I think it's awesome to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nes Freak | 584 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 btw i further check the tv the volume down button wasnt working even after using contact cleaner on it so i ordered a new button and replaced it and its working like new again :P a new triple shielded coaxel cable is included thats the right size for the unit and i clean the tv of the 30 years of dust and oiled the pots on the back. just thought id let any one thats possibly interested in this interested know.
