Hey y'all.
Not sure if this is the thread to post my question, but i recently came up on a TMSS Model 1 High Definition Graphics Genesis. Taking it apart, the rf shield was rusty and some metal parts of the board had surface rust. System worked well even at this condition. I got rid of 90% of the rust using a brush, vinegar and soaking the rf shield with evaporust.
So, for my question: i notice that when playing games on the system, whenever it loads something new into memory or transitions to a new screen, i get this minor looking video noise. Like a line of a couple white dots/noise. It's not the biggest distraction, but I'm not sure what is causing it. It also did this before i cleaned it up. Are the capacitors in need of changing soon? The audio through the headphone jack sounds really clean and not noisy at all.
I've only tested the system on a crt with composite video cables at the moment.
