My NES was very temperamental with games. I removed and cleaned the original 72-pin connector, but it still acted up. I finally bit the bullet and purchased this 72-pin connector. It fixed most of the issues. My success rate of starting a game the 1st time went from 25% to probably 75%. I suspect the games are now to blame, but at least I don`t have to monkey around with blowing in carts no more. Also, the connector is VERY tight, which I believe is a good thing. We`ll see how long it lasts.
This new 72-pin connector worked as a perfect replacement for the stock 72-pin connector. Very tight, but saved a lot of the bad connection headaches.
This product helped me get my NES playing again, thanks for the memories.
Order arrived on time, connector is relatively easy to install & holds the games great, console works & feels like new again!
The angle of the slot was a bit off and as a result my games have to be forced in.
Works great and does what it is advertised. I little tight on install but east to loosen up. Cheers!
I bought 3 to replace badly damaged OEM connectors. I don`t see a difference in performance over an OEM in ideal shape! Carts play very reliably. Very good purchase and I will buy more from this site when I need more.
I would say it is a bit snug fit with the cart but I prefer that and it doesn`t seem to be marking up the cart`s plating any.
Ordered a few to replace the worn-out connectors on a few consoles I refurbished for a friend. All pins and screw holes lined up perfectly, and all games ran as well as when new.
If you run into problems, try disassmbling the game cart itself, polishing and cleaning its connector pins thoroughly with a fine polish and lots of isopropyl alcohol.
I originally fixed up my older brother's NES and gave it back to him a few years ago. Now, I got one of my own, but i wanted a fresh start when it came to booting up games. This 72-pin connector sounded the most promising, and I wasnt disappointed! Swapped out the connectors, put in Super Mario Bros, and I'm off to save the princess! Came in a timely fashion as well!
