Found a bunch of NES's from my childhood...

Found about 5 NES's from when I was a kid. Most of them are my old friends that left them there because they all were "broken". Well I tried to fix them by using a online guide, and I'm a bit confused on how to fix the pin connector. I cleaned it, but I don't understand what you do to "line" them up correctly. Do you just put them closer together? Any help would be nice. Thanks!

I've tried that method as well without any luck. :/ I think you're supposed to just raise them up slightly and make sure they're even with one another. Kind of a pain, really.
classicgaming.com has a how-to guide on their site (which is what I referenced, so interpret that as you may)
I ended up just buying replacement pin connectors off eBay for like, 8 bucks and those worked incredibly well for me, and were really easy to install.
If you can get those all fixed though, you could easily sell 'em for at least $30 each (depending on their condition). Good deal.

I think I may just go the route of buying new pin connectors. It's just really hard and annoying to bend them upward (it seems). Thanks for the help though. :)
