    Default Nintendo Cleaning Kit - Anyone know where I can get another?

    {mods, I wasn't sure where this post should go but as it pertains to repair, or cleaning to be more precise, I thought this may be appropriate. If not, my apologies and just let me know where you'd like it and I can move it}

    A quick bit of history: I've had this little "Nintendo" cleaner for years and years and years(we're talking 10+) and I love it; no other cleaner has come close to how great and efficient this one is. Problem is, the "heads" are starting to rip(they can be replaced and washed, but both sets are starting to rip and tear due to their age and countless usage over the years) and I can't seem to find this thing *anywhere* on the net. Has anyone ever seen this thing(picture attached), and if so, do you know where I might find a replacement or replacement "heads" for it?

    Also, does anyone know of something quite similar? I wouldn't mind something similar, but I'd like it to be "wand-like". See, my old one has a sort of cotton-like head used for drying and a smooth, almost velvet-like head for cleaning. It works really well, and if I can't get a replacement I wouldn't mind something similar.

    Any help, suggestions or links would be much appreciated.

    Edit: Found this link of a guy using it over at About.com:

    "The Nintendo Cleaning Wand
    The instructions for cleaning a game cartridge recommend you use a cotton swab, but the Nintendo’s Cleaning Wand will work just as well - plus it’s reusable. The Cleaning Wand is a flat tool that will fit into the small opening of the cartridge. The ends are made of cloth so they won’t fall apart during cleaning and can be used repeatedly."

    Just popping it to say that this has been solved. Apparently all official Nintendo cleaning kits come with the wand/heads. The NES and SNES both have carts that open up to reveal the wand/heads, the GameBoy kit simply has it off the side(as it's too big to fit in the GB cleaning cart). The GB cleaning kits are, by far, the cheapest if you're looking for the wand/heads(that's what I'm buying right now).

    Anyway, just thought I'd report that in case anyone ever came looking.
