We fix what others throw away. Yes, including that NES your spouse wants you to "just let go of." Component-level repair, not board replacement.
If it has solder joints and a story, we'll take a look.
"Your childhood isn't dead. It just needs new caps."
"That Marantz receiver from 1975 was built better than anything at Best Buy today. We keep it running."
"If it has a circuit board and it's broken, we'll look at it."
"Play your childhood games on a modern TV without that blurry composite mess."
Retro repair is priced by the job, not by the hour. We'll diagnose for free and give you a flat quote before any work starts.
Most repairs: $50–$150 | Complex board work: $100–$300
We get this question. Here's the honest answer.
Because eBay consoles have the same aging capacitors yours does. You're just buying someone else's ticking time bomb.
A properly recapped console will last another 30 years. An untouched eBay find might last 6 months.
Plus, yours has save files, memories, and that weird scratch on the controller from when you threw it at your brother. That's irreplaceable.
