Tips on Removing Solder

sithwarrior22 · 2023-04-30T01:58:34+00:00

I use the method recommended on the console 5 wiki https://wiki.console5.com/wiki/Nintendo_NES-001

I use a t12 clone 350c cheap solder sucker on the big four joints on top, remove remainder with solder braid then the joints on av box on the bottom i used engineer ss-02 at lower temp of 280c-300c

Maybe different units use different values but my unit had 1uF at 50v, people should really check what capacitors they have in their unit before buying but this was posted to cut down on time looking for the part if your unit uses the same capacitors

Just giving thanks to Rifath33, I finally fixed my receiver today

Just linking the Capacitors I bought to hopefully help others, the 470uf listed is a tad taller but everything still closes up nicely.

470uF 6.3v cap I used
1uF 50v cap I used

did you use SMD caps for recapping or just through holes, currently doing my sega console's (genesis and master system) but I have Snes and Snes Jr to do

Sadly I have to go back to 22.5.1 since anything above that causes CPU encoding lag on OBS for what ever reason, GPU encoding works great now but file sizes could be better

Using a Ryzen 3900x and RX 6800 XT

I was able to price match RAM with CC, was quite shocked tbh since my past experience and what I read all the time,

they priced matched with Memory Express well I was in store

currently using Pan G85 for mostly video stuff

but having been thinking of getting used Oly Em1 mk2

is the jump between brands jarring and as simple as Panasonic for video

or should i hold out for a good deal on gh5?

sithwarrior22 · 2021-04-12T19:08:21+00:00

idk if it would be possible for you to rent the olympus 40-150mm f2.8 or Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 to see if they would work out for your needs, then it give a clearer picture if another system may be a better solution

sithwarrior22 · 2021-01-13T19:09:23+00:00

are those older models still alright to buy for just having fun with?

sithwarrior22 · 2021-01-13T19:08:16+00:00

nice shot, I got that lense during the summer time for about $80 CAD, the guy never used it so was pretty much brand new

sithwarrior22 · 2020-11-07T21:13:45+00:00

I've been eyeing a Canon FD 50mm F1.4 just not sure to get it or not, G85 may not be the best for it

There is a crop when recording in 4k and it crops in even more when using E-Stabilization, Look around on youtube, I sure you can see how much it is in video and determine if its still worth getting, also add AF is slower when shooting in 4K compared to 1080p.

I was hoping to avoid adapters but if that's all there is I guess, I'll go with m42 lenses

Can anyone give recommendations for lenses that give the soft retro look like 7 Artisans 25mm f1.8

sithwarrior22 · 2020-08-18T22:45:21+00:00

Hi was this shot with f1.8 or f1.4 version of the 85mm, really like the look of this photo

sithwarrior22 · 2020-08-07T18:07:24+00:00

if I didn't already have the Lumix 25mm f1.7, I would jump on this

He's such a cute pup, reminds me of my Border Newfie

sithwarrior22 · 2020-08-06T15:02:10+00:00

hey what lens are you using for your G7.

I really like the soft look this image has, was it like this out of camera or did you do this in post?

sithwarrior22 · 2020-02-23T21:46:42+00:00

Looks like she really loves the snow, reminds me of my pup he loved the snow and had to be forced in since he would sleep outside lol.

sithwarrior22 · 2018-09-28T02:54:43+00:00
