Modern power module to replace the old rusty one, cleaned edge connector, fixed cracks in the case, new coat of paint, and metallic stickers.

    Do you do anything to improve the internal cartridge pin connectors? Or replace the part?

    I think I took my apart many years ago and used a small screwdriver to bend the pins out a bit. Every game worked perfectly after that for a while, but it’s getting very touchy again…

      I cleaned the edge of the PCB with a pencil easer then ipa. After that I applied some dexoit for good measure. I also added some dexoit to the pins themselves.

    And now you’ll be pulling it towards you several times by pulling the cord during intense action, and you’ll need to blow the cartridge to make the game work.

    Looks like it’s been bleached too much or the white balance of the photo is way off. That’s definitely the wrong shade of NES gray.

      It’s not grey. The paint is matte white and matte black, all with a clear coat. The intent wasn’t a restoration since the case had cracks and nicks in it.
