Did anything I did in this video improve the video output quality or gaming experience in my nintendo entertainment system video game console?
Not at all. My game box was already performing at the most optimal factory experience that the 1980s could provide. But it if your retro NES has bad audio video problems, then there is enough information here to fix most common problems. I hope to help you restore your broken retro game console to working condition. At least if you have a general idea how to fix nostalgic antique electronics, or at least how to solder.

Here is a Mouser Cart for the parts in this video:
