A whole new 72-pin fix
razielleonhart:
nice idea and here i just replaced the pins on my NES

I might get one and not use it, just have it as a spare. I've never had a set of pins I couldn't fix, and I have a pretty good set of pins now. I'm also one of the lucky ones who bought replacement sets of pins years ago when someone made them to spec, none of this crunching metel scraping noise with newer pins.

May as well. They're only 20 bucks, and who knows how long they'll be on the market. You know how little niche products like this are. One day you can get em with two mouse clicks, the next they're being trickled out on NA at 5 times the price becuase the supply dried up ;)
I don't "need" one at this point, but I definitely think having a couple sitting around is worth 40-50 bucks :)

I get nostalgic on this, I like to have everything in original condition, having to push down the cartridge on the nes. I don't need one and I hope no to need one, but it makes me think if some day I need a new pin, what I will prefer, a crappie look a like original pin or this. :(
I'll have to think this ::)

I think I may have to back this.
