Started listing some consoles this weekend, got 3 switches online and think with the money I'm going to do another few game gears, I'm going to hunt down that illusive LYNX this month if I can as well. Once the caps get here I am going to make up some recap kits, retrosix kits are about £9 and I've got 20 kits in from china in individual caps so I'm going to grab a few more than I need and do a few cheaper kits. The game gear tantalum caps are rated 1uf 50v, 10uf 50v and 100uf 6.3v so ive got a couple of hundred of each on the way.
I think I am also going to list my GameBoy Colour as although I played it quite lot the parts for the Pocket and the Advance are in the country now and the advance is basically the end game for my little GameBoy collection. I also looked and a Colour like mine should make about £100 which is utter madness. Mind you I do have about £65/70 or so into it so I guess it's not that crazy.
The 3DS I also think has to go, bar testing I haven't picked it up once so I am thinking shift that, make a little bit and move on up to a newer 3DS model. Still waiting on the parts for the Vita but when they get here that should be a good one
I went a bit nuts so can't wait to show the final product.
When I grabbed those extra game gears they both had power and audio boards, so to recoup some of my losses there im going to recap and sell the audio and power boards that should get me back what I lost or at least some of what I lost buying the donor GG's.
Things I am still waiting on from China
- 1 Clear Blue Switch Lite Chassis
- 2 sets of GameGear McWill Screens
- 20 Sets Of Game Gear Caps
- 10 Switch Charge Ports
- 10 B10K analogue replacements (the pots used in the pro controller) - This is still in pieces on my bench.
- IPS Kit for GBA
- IPS Kit for GameBoy Pocket
- PS2 Laser (last Chinese laser I bought set fire so this might be fun)
- Vita Charge Port
- Vita Replacement shell
Consoles/Ebay Stuff inbound
- Switch Lite Grey (Likely mashed charge port and other board damage) - £55 + Postage
- Switch Lite Coral (No Power) - £55 + Postage
- Lots of tubes of thermal paste
- The correct Charge port for our 3DS ready for us to sell it on (remember we mashed a "NEW" 3ds charge port into it)
- Electrolytic Cap Kits (Enough for 20 GG power boards)
So yea a waiting game more than anything. Looking forward to doing a couple of GG's to sell on as a little project I know it all went a bit wrong with the last one but I still enjoyed the challenge and want to make a few really nice ones to sell.

Got yours all boxed up and ready to go. Will bring it to London tomorrow. Stuck 6 batteries and sonic in my bag just in case you wanted to test it. Oh and look what I also bought:
