{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.

"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."
