Title: TG-16 does it need to be recapped?
Post by: wilykat on July 29, 2015, 02:47:04 PM

I have an extra TG-16 I am cleaning up to sell and I can't remember if TG-16 are fine or if they are known to have caps problem like Express and black Duo.

So TG-16 caps are generally good for many more years then.  Guess I'll just AV mod it with S-Video support and then sell em.
