  • Use an eraser and some contact cleaner, stop using alcohol.

  • @SupremeJudge I seem to remember reading up and finding that alcohol at the chemical level will not have any adverse effect on copper but to be honest, I never saw any real benefit using alcohol so I stopped recommending the use of it for this purpose due to the debates.

    As a side note though, I also remember finding that most contact cleaners contain alcohol as the active ingredient anyway, among other things.

  • @RetroRepair The alcohol base in contact cleaner is only used for drying. It's the other chemicals in the contact cleaners that breakdown corrosion and help prevent further corrosion and also promote contact. I personally use Deoxit D5 which can be found on ebay for roughly $20 shipped.

  • @SupremeJudge Thanks I'll give that a go.

  • Every MVS game I've owned needed a clean before going in my 6 Slot. Luckily you can just unscrew them - Those clips look a pain! I use brass cleaner - seems to work wonders :-)

  • @K1NGARTH3R Brass cleaner eh? I will have to have a go with that!

  • I've never used an eraser, never thought of that, usually use rubbing alcohol :o)

  • @RetroGamerVX The alcohol can be used to loosen the grime first then the eraser can really do wonders but often it makes edge connectors gleam with a bit of elbow greese -_^

  • @RetroRepair Looks like I will be adding an eraser to my armory then :o)

  • Great vid fella, i love the tinsel on the HOTD cab:)

  • @indydaisy1 Thanks mate!

  • Merry merry and happy happy to you and yours!

  • @MoreDakka101 Likewise! -_^

  • Merry Christmas! I hate those plastic snaps that keep things together. They get so brittle when the plastic ages.

  • @Polaventris Yeah plus my ape like attempts to gain entry ^_^ And Merry Christmas!

  • Awesome, these cartridges cost and are worth too much as well as rare to have them not work, good job.

  • @KITT171 Cheers! Yeah it's not often they don't work but you would be surprised how many get sold for pennies just when they need a clean!
