Stuff and Things.

I forgot to ask, where have you gone to? You probably said but my brain's fried from poor sleep patterns recently.

Hmm odd I missed it!

Coincidentally, I didn't even notice the Speccy stuff a few foot to the right until the 2nd visit. :roll:

Don't worry; it was mostly mag cover cassettes...the only thing I noticed was Horace Goes Skiing (but I have that already).

And the Amiga...*ahem*...'games' were a hand written set of floppies in a 10 blank floppy case; Eye of the Beholder and a few other multi disk games.

There was a time where the police would just come in and shut the place down for this. :lol:

Lol, definitely no sign of the police!!

I was down in Christchurch, with a side visit to Southampton on the way home :)

Pulled out the SNES the other day, it's on the bench for a clean up and internal inspection, check for bad caps (You never know!!):

Apart from the release of a few dust bunnies, so far noting terrible.

The SNES seemed to have blurry video output when using the composite cable it shares with the GameCube, so whilst pulled apart for a good clean (Dust bunnies ahoy), I had a look at the capacitor situation, and like the A1200, caught it just in time:

So yet another cap replacement spree for me...

You seem to be having a fun time with caps at the moment @rubber_jonnie

[rubber_jonnie]

I'm having a bit of a capocalypse! :dizzy:

Guess when I finally get my SNES back I should probably open it up :o

I'd advise it, even if the caps are good, you can clear out the dust bunnies :) :dualthumbup:

Well, the SNES is all back together and whilst I was away to see my poorly parents, the case has been out in the sun, and the colour has definitely improved.

Also slight improvement in picture quality, but I may pick up a 2nd lead, see if that helps as well.
