How to clean your NES cartridges - CHEAP!

Here is a how-to video on the discoveries I've made trying to clean my own collection. I hope it helps.

NOTE - It seems Brasso will turn black even if the connectors are clean. Base the results on the cleanliness of your connectors rather than the cleanliness of the rag.

@anassgame

I believe that *is* isopropyl alcohol, you should be fine.

Excellent video. I've cleaned more than 700 games using this method and everything is fine!

The only thing that I do different is I mix 70% distilled water with 30% alcohol in a spray bottle just to be on the safe side.

If there happens to be a game that is being difficult to open, this method works great with q tips.

In severe situations, a eraser will do the job...but I've only came across one or two games that I would consider to be severe.

Umm... can I have your collection?

ive always used rubbing alcohol to clean my games cost 1 dollar at the dollar store...never had any issues with the games been doing it since the 90's

As well as cleaning corrosion off the pins, Brasso is also taking the plating off. 90% isopropyl and q-tips works best,

windex/glass cleaner worked for me

How about alcohol swabs?

[ljd1980]

What tool did you use to open the case?

[zerorisers1]

So I have 90% alcohol can I make it 1/3 of alchohol 2/3 water?

[ampNirvana10]

why wouldn't condensed air work?
