    you mean with hagling? or you have the means to publicly set value




    i expect them to go up -- ill see a few years from now - it would suck though - im collecting 1000s of games and never play them - id be kicking my self thinking - i could have waited till now

    Actually, I've got something that is extremely valuable and big-time corroded--cartridge #9 that came with the Shooting Gallery Rifle for the Magnavox Odyssey. Which would be the best method for treating this particular case--would the method described by Googlefest (DeOxit cleaner, Pro Gold) work the best with this? What is a trace restorer conductive pen? Anyone have experience with these?

    thats what i would use -- i have had some severly coroded contacts that i ve restored using the deoxit and progold products

    if you live in the USA you can go into a radio shack and look at the package and judge for yourself -- or go online to newarkinone.com and look at all thier product descriptions

    the deoxit - gets rid of the oxidation and cleans realy good - and the progold will also clean and prevent oxidation from forming again (it does wear off with use)

    the conductive pen looks like a marker - you can draw traces on pcb and on top of the board coatings as well - its like a conductive epoxy "ink" - you draw the trace you want to fix and it dries and your ready to use --

    they also have one in radio shack you can look at and that website has more

    i think that place has a better selection than digikey

    I have another method.

    Dremmels. (Tools that use a rough material on the tip of the tool at High speed) It isn't the prettiest way, But it works. It's recommended to Open the game's case up first, though- You won't know what you are doing otherwise.

    Don't use this method unless the contacts are as messed up as the ones I'm talking about.
