Good evening all I have some older consoles that I have been collecting as well as playing over the years and would really like to deep clean and refurbish them with new paste and belts as well as if needed new caps but have no experience with replacing caps or any soldering is there anyone or any company out there that I could send my console too for refurbishment and have it sent back, thank you

Depending on what you are looking at fixing you might need individual places to take care of different things, and it can get a little pricey shipping stuff out for repairs. If you have the disposable income for that go for it, but its surprisingly easy to get started with that kind of stuff, with YouTube and ifixit as guides. If not you can always check with repair stores in your area, sometimes they're willing to do those repairs since older repairs are usually easier to do, otherwise you have to look online. Repasting and replacing the drive belts is pretty straightforward though, you just need the right driver bits to open the system, which for PlayStation is usually Philips and triwing, and for Xbox its mostly torx bits.
