I like the cap replacement tutorial and the technique for replacing surface mount caps with through hole.

The customer didn't want a new laser or component video output, BUT I plan to make vids of these mods/repairs also!

Looks awesome.  I like your way of removing surface mount caps.

I may not have been very clear about this or misleading in the vid, but it's prolly best to cut the can itself as close to the bottom as you can, this will have the least amount of stress on the legs and you will still sever them from the can part and still have easy access to them once the rest of the can and plastic base are removed. Then you can wipe the legs off with the iron and leave a nice pad to solder to.

Nice work. Those walk throughs will come in handy for people that are modding in the future.

I need to finally get around to getting some work done on my systems. I don't have the time to do the modifications, but maybe a few simple ones at a time would be a start. I've been mulling over having someone on the boards do some of the mods, but combined with the fact that I know how to solder and work on electronics and the resistance to sending my original systems from 1989 and 1990 via mail has been preventing me from doing so I think LOL. :lol:

Thats high praise!
I'm still trying to figure out editing and how to make each shot better, but for what the vids are they get the job done...
