Can't say I ever noticed it, eh, might have gotten taken on that one. : P (n/t) from Paleface.
Jailbars on RGB modded PCE are very common, I’m pretty sure across all models. People can fix it although I confess I don’t know much about it. Bad caps on Duo R are almost unheard of but are virtually guaranteed on the black systems. Perhaps there is *a* capacitor value that can be changed in order to fix the video but a total capacitor replacement is, I’m %99 sure, unrelated to the jailbar thing (which again, I’m pretty sure only happens with RGB modded systems) and unnecessary work which I personally don’t recommend anyone do because all it can do it break something if it already works perfectly. That goes for all sorts of things, not just game machines.
