Atari 2600 Capacitor Kit – Tune-Up – Refresh Upgrade Kit – DIY
$12.99
Tune up your old Atari 2600 with this capacitor and part replacement kit! This kit includes replacement parts for many of the components that are prone to distortion or failure on your 40+ year old Atari systems!
Description
This kit will cover all versions of the 2600 4 Switch and 6 Switch systems.
Many of these are recommended replacements on the official Atari Field Service Manual to clear up bad or in come cases incorrect factory installed parts due to all the different board revision from Atari.
The link to the guides will also be sent with the item. Many people have bought kits from other places and emailed me for help because no instructions were included. I am always available to help with questions during installation and I have sold thousands of DIY Atari kits! Be sure to check out my Atari 2600/7800 Composite Video Upgrade Kit as well as my Atari 2600 Pause Kit.
The main tools you will need are wire cutters, a soldering iron, and some kind of de-soldering tool. The process itself is fairly easy and I have detailed guides for each type of Atari system. It involves finding the old matching components based on your Atari board and revision number (locations are marked in guide), de-soldering and removing the old components, and replacing them with the new ones.
Be sure to follow the installation guides carefully. This kit will work for NTSC or PAL systems. I am not responsible for any damage done to your system that results from not following directions.
