Why You Shouldn't Replace Your Original NES 72 Pin Connector With An Aftermarket One

I test out a dirty, cleaned, and aftermarket 72 Pin Connector for the NTSC NES. I originally made this for an eBay buyer but figured it may be useful information for others.

I still have my original equipment manufactured nes 72 pin connector and my nintendo entertainment system works excellent

How do you clean the 72 pin connector ?

[@Mr.Slorante]

Can you describe how you fix the 72 pin connector to get it working every time? I took mine out and cleaned it plus bent the pins up and I can get it to work but have to still fidget with it.

What works for me is to clean the games really well with a a tip and alcohol. Once you clean the pin connector, don’t forget to make sure the games are clean otherwise the connector will get dirty again.

I used the 1 up Console cleaner and the Cartridge cleaner. theres a bundle you can get for 29 dollars. My NES works pretty much first try for every game now, its awesome.
