    Default Why are aftermarket 72 pin connectors for the NES rubbish?

    What is the reason the aftermarket 72 pin connectors for the NES perform so poorly?? Is there a cheaper/less conductive metal used? What else could the reason be?

    Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. Cheap materials coupled with a poor (original) design. Sucks :/

    Get a top loader. Mod it to work with A/V cables. Problem solved.

    That's what I've got for the last few years, RCA mod, stereo separation wheel mod, and a little led under the power switch so it glows red.
