I did the PSU replacement myself but just checked how much that cap kit was and may do that myself too now.

Yeah, I paid £11 for it through ebay, cheaper than on the Retrosix website, but as I said, some caps are too tall and need to lay down. If you're OK with that, then it's no problem. Given the number of caps I have left over after doing mine, the value is pretty good.

OK, well the diagnosis isn't great for the Saturn. It looks like the CD drive is dead. I'm going to go through the tuning guide here: Saturn Laser Tuning, but I think it's read it's last disk.

Time to see if I can find a Fenrir...

@rubber_jonnie disk height makes a difference too as well as tuning the laser.

Good luck finding a fenrir, they always seem to be out of stock, would love one if I could find one.

I thought that Sega Saturn laser assemblies were very cheap on AliExpress?
