Email usThe full rundown
A complete replacement capacitor set for the top-loading NES mainboard.
Fits: the top-loading NES-101, the later redesign that drops cartridges in from above. The front-loader uses a different board and we sell that set separately.
Fixes: audio hum or buzz, a picture that is dim, wavy or rolling, and a console that powers on intermittently.
Worth knowing: the top-loader has no lockout chip and no 72-pin connector problems, which is why it is the more reliable NES. That also means that when one does misbehave, the capacitors are a far more likely cause than they would be on a front-loader. Note the top-loader outputs RF only as standard, so a poor picture may simply be RF rather than a fault.
