Help Wanted w/ Playstation 1 mods/recap

Hello Everybody,

Is it okay to post a thread in Swap Meet when I'm looking for a tech? If so, I have purchased a Playstation 1 (1001 model) to use as my new CD player. If you're asking yourself "Do people still do that?" ... well ... I normally run several years behind when following trends. 🙂

I am going to do the teardown, cleanup, installation of a see through lid, and paint job. But my skills in working with circuit boards and a soldering gun are pretty rough. I am looking for somebody who has experience with modding a PS1. Rather than send the entire unit I could just send the power board for recapping (and re-resistoring if that can help the final sound). I can also send the board that has the analog output section for any upgrades, mods or recaps.

There used to be a dude on audio asylum and ebay who offered this service for $80, but he seems to be long gone. His name was Rich something. Anyways if anybody is interested in a quick little side job, please le me know.

Thank You
