I'm looking at trying to fix a Game Gear (no sound, poor images) with new capacitors.
Do these look like a good option? I'm wondering if I should invest in a better soldering kit, will probably have battery replacement, etc, to do in the future.

Thanks!

I actually just fixed a Game Gear yesterday! I went with this capacitor kit. It doesn't use surface mounted capacitors for the audio board though but the ones it comes with work great and my Game Gear works like new now.
