Many years ago, third and first party cleaners were abundant for classic console cleaning. I specially liked third party cleaners, since many of them were universal and not console specific. I recall getting a few from EBGames, Doc's, High Frequency (Toys R Us?), etc
However, getting a hold on these cleaners are a pain. At one point, Ebay was flooded with these cleaners, but naive as I am, I decided not to get any because I thought they would always be around. It's a mistake I am now regretting.
Yes, there are a few listed on Ebay, but many of those have been previously used. Some look in perfect condition, but the posibility of it being a stock picture is probable.
Is there a place where I can still get these kits at an affordable price? I am searching for something like this:
If not, I would like to know of the material used in the system wands themselves, such as this one:
I know it's an abrasive material, but what is it exactly? I would love to either create my own cleaning wands and/or restore old wands with new material.
Many will say that compressed air works great, but I noticed it won't really remove grime if it's really stuck in the contacts. A tooth brush doesn't remove much either and at least in my opinion, may actually cause more damage. Not to sure, though.
I recall these wands cleaning quite a bit, after using a drop of their cleaning solution (alcohol based).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
