Stop letting bad caps ruin your Vectrex — bring it back to full glory with a complete recap!

If your beloved Vectrex has been acting up lately — flickering display, crackling audio, or refusing to boot at all — there's a very good chance the culprit is a set of aging electrolytic capacitors. These components degrade over time, and after decades of service, they're often the number one reason classic consoles start misbehaving. The good news? It's a totally fixable problem, and this Vectrex Capacitor Kit from DragonBox Shop gives you everything you need to sort it out.

What's in the kit?

This kit contains all the electrolytic capacitors found in the Vectrex, so you can do a full recap in one go. No hunting around for individual components or worrying about whether you've got the right specs — it's all here, ready to go. Once you've replaced the old caps, you can expect a noticeably more stable picture, cleaner sound, and a console that runs the way it was meant to.

A great DIY project for retro repair fans

Recapping a Vectrex is a satisfying and rewarding repair that any hobbyist with soldering experience can tackle. Whether you're restoring a personal favourite or rescuing a thrift store find, this kit is your best starting point. With fresh capacitors installed, you'll be adding many more years to your Vectrex's life and keeping a piece of gaming history alive and kicking.

Important note before you start

You will need to solder the capacitors directly onto the Vectrex mainboard. Please make sure you're comfortable with basic soldering before diving in, and double-check polarity on each cap during installation. DragonBox Shop cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper installation — so take your time and enjoy the process!
