There is a website called Console5 that has tons of repair and upgrade parts. Replacing components in the Atari wasn't bad.

Hope you never have to replace the capacitors on a SNES. You're almost guaranteed to lift a bunch of pads unless you have a hot air station or a specialty tool that's half soldering iron half tweezers.
