Hello, time for the yearly nostalgia.
I have quite a collection of NES stuff (carts and consoles) that I've
rescued from trash, garage sales, etc. that has been sitting in my
basement for a few years. Trying to run one of the games produces odd
output (i.e. lines down it display, not booting entirely) which I know is
due to dirty contacts. What's the best way to clean these? Alchohol on a
swab? Freon? (I have a friend that bought out a very large supply of it
just before it became illegal to sell (i.e.: 100+ bottles for his
reel-to-reel tape recorders)
How about a "Pink Pearl" eraser? This is what I've used before to clean
contacts.
