Please help me, i cant sleep thinkingnof this: 1) my games are ok being in direct contact with black cardstock? I use it insidenof the vhs boxes. You think that is dangerous in long term? 2) are the pins of my games safe from harm (i already removed the gold plating)? I am storing them inside the vhs boxes (ao i think it is difficult for dust to get in) and i use silica bags to prevent humidity. No other treatment is made to them. Do you think they will survive for many more years? I would really appreciate an answer for this 2 questions. Thank you |

Im on the fence about using dielectric grease, i would like some counseling. I have the following questions: 1) if i apply it to the pins of my games, will i need to reapply it constantly? Does it evaporate? 2) could there be damage in the long term for applying the grease? 3) can i play normally the games that have the grease? 4) do i need to open the games to apply the grease? Or could i just use a cotton from the outside? Considering i removed the gold plating for most of my games, what would be my best bet? Apply the grease or not? Please help me, i would really really appreciate it. |
