The card-edge cartridge connector is worn nearly
through the traces on
the m/b. If the computer is jostled much at all, it loses the RAM and
its little mind. Next mod will be to do some (cheesy, yes I know) wire
patching to the finger traces.

Hi
As I've mentioned in the past, If you put some silicon grease,
like DC#4 on the fingers, you won't have the erratic contact
problem on things like the Sinclair. It improve contact by
keeping surface oxides from forming. It is non-conductive so
it won't cause other problems.
