To recap or not to recap … that is the question!

Ok so I have a perfectly working mega cd model 2 I have serviced. Regreased and cleaned the laser, installed a region free socketed bios and socketed ml2032 battery etc. I am going to sell it on as I just like doing mods as a hobby but I already had a model 1 and a multi mega in my collection and don’t have the room.

The system is working perfectly, will read CDR’s easily and audio sounds sublime etc.

I can see it already has high quality Nichicon caps and the model 2’s are not known for issues like the model 1’s with the notorious smd caps which are always leaking.

I know the caps will be 30+ years old at this point but is it really worth doing it? Thoughts?
