Atari Master Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Today was one of the greatest days a game collector could have. It all started yesterday.It was about 8:00 PM and my brother called from jail.We talked and i asked him were the NES was in my uncles house.You see, my uncle said he would give me the NES if he could find it and i had waited two weeks untill i finally decided to talk to my brother.He lived with my uncle for awile and knew were it was.He told me that my uncle also had an Atari and the next day my mom took me over to go pick it up.My uncle went and looked for it and couldent find it but i was bringing a weird looking thing and i couldent figuer out what it was.It was the Atari 2600 Black with no wood look.We couldent find the NES but he's still looking. So now for an hour and a half i've been cleaning the large amount of dust off of it.I still need to clean the deck off but other than that it's fine.I want to know how i can clean the controll port out without damaging it. Thanks I got myself Atari todaaaayyyyy...... And it was free too... [ 01-09-2002: Message edited by: Atari Master ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compressed air works a treat if there's only dust in there.... I keep a can of compressed air in my room & use it to clean all my systems & carts. (I find that when I clean my carts with a cotton wool bud - or q-tip? - they actually leave traces of cotton on the contacts, which is just as bad as the dirt... the compressed air gets rid of these traces) Noble Kale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
