  1. Anypony into electronics repair? I would like to know what this yellow and black stuff is on my NES. or if its even from the NES. yes, the nes works. and that capacitor is normal, i.e. not failed.

      1. @eaglehooves Yeah... especially the black stuff. all i could think of is that huge capacitor, but it looks fine. and the thing likely wouldnt work if it had blown.
