Breathe new life into your hardware and protect your investment for decades to come. This premium recap kit is engineered to replace aging, leak-prone aluminum electrolytic capacitors that threaten the longevity of your favorite retro consoles.
Most standard kits simply swap old parts for new ones of the same type. This Hybrid Performance Kit goes a step further by optimizing the circuit for modern standards:
Advanced Ceramic Integration: Where technically superior, we utilize high-grade ceramic capacitors. These offer ultra-low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), higher thermal stability, and—most importantly—they will never leak, eliminating the primary cause of PCB trace corrosion.
Premium Electrolytics: For circuit stages that specifically require the characteristics of electrolytic caps (such as power filtering or audio coupling), we provide only the highest-quality, name-brand components.
Engineered Longevity: By combining the ruggedness of ceramics with the reliability of modern high-spec electrolytics, this kit offers a more stable power delivery and cleaner signals than the original factory configuration.
Stop the Rot: Prevents electrolyte leakage from eating away at copper traces and delicate components.
Restore Audio & Video: Fixes common issues like "jailbars," flickering screens, low volume, or muffled audio.
System Stability: Eliminates random resets and boot failures caused by "noisy" power lines.
Full Component Set: Every capacitor required for a complete overhaul.
Direct-Fit Rating: Components are selected to match or exceed original voltage and capacitance requirements.
Universal Applicability: This kit is designed specifically for every revision to ensure perfect compatibility.
Technical Note: This kit requires soldering skills and proper equipment. Always verify your board revision before beginning the installation to ensure a perfect match.

Luke
Retro Enthusiast
RetroSix is a family run business led by Luke, who has been in the gaming industry and retail business since 2013, and sold consoles, controllers and even designed our own controllers and consoles.
We repair and upgrade consoles while showing them off on our social channels such as TikTok.
We sell products for restoring your own consoles should you wish to do it yourself, including many of our own hardware we design and manufacture in-house.
Finally, we print directly onto products to create unique one-off designs of things like Game Boys, Game Gears and anything that has a relatively flat surface we can print on. Checkout our Printed Products sections to buy some or design your very own.
We started RetroSix not as a mass market business, instead with the aim of perfection. Recreating moulds of original shells, casting them from quality ABS, redesigning hardware such as power supplies, USB-C, audio and more, to upgrade your consoles to the highest quality available. No cheap junk sold for profit.
Partners
We believe partnering with other likeminded companies is a great way to help each other out and ultimately make products that are better for the end consumer.
Of course, we sell and ship worldwide direct from source if you would like to purchase direct from anywhere in the world.
