I'm looking for an original MS Office CD (like Office 97 or whatever) if anyone has one.

I forgot one thing, I am looking for an Office 97 or newer original CD. If anyone has one to trade, let me know!

Forgot also have California Games.

This is the last bit of video game stuff that I have for sale right now. If anyone wants to make an offer for any of the items, please let me know, otherwise it's off to ebay. I'd prefer to sell all the Atari games together. Gyromite with Famicom-NES adapter inside. For the 2600: Midnight Magic (red label) Jr. Pac Man (red label) Donkey Kong (coleco) Asteroids

Great condition NES controllers, these were the ones I saved to use but I'm getting rid of my NES stuff. Also a zapper, RF switch, original 72 pin connector, etc. http://cgi.ebay.com/NES-Nintendo-Console-2...1QQcmdZViewItem

OK, no replies after 1/2 a day, so I will say $15.

I have a Gyromite with the Famicom-NES adapter in it, as well as a great-working ORIGINAL NES 72 pin connector for sale. $20 for both or best offer or will sell separately.

I tried looking over there after you wrote that. Could you tell me where it was on there (link?), or where it would be?

The original connectors are better than the replacements. I got 2 replacements, and they went bad in a month, and the games were *way* too hard to get in/out. Just refurbish the original connector. 1012280[/snapback] I have tried, that's what this whole thing was about. If you have a way to bend the top row of pins down I'm all ears, that's the only thing left I can figure out that might work.

Jagasian you must be smart because I thought the same thing. I took the games to the used games store where I bought them and they booted right up on their NES. I think it's time to retire the old 72 pin unless someone has some 11th hour suggestion to keep the NES original. On the plus side I was able to trade some old CDs for some classic games. They were probably ecstatic that someone actually wanted Nintendo baseball. Oh, and they have some cheesy NES clone there for 60 bucks.

Cut the 4th pin on the lockout chip and it stopped blinking, but had a gray screen. With the cartidge in the up position, however, I actually got RC Pro Am to work for a few minutes (before it cut out in the middle of a game). It could be dirty games, though I cleaned them again (albeit without using an eraser, I can't open them up) with alcohol. I only have 2 of them, so it's tough to tell. I think the 72 pin may have to go.

Cleaned the games using ethyl alcohol, seemed to get some dirt off of it and onto the cotton swab. This NES is in very, um, original condition (as in it's kind of beat up, and the inside probably last saw the light of day in 1980's Japan). I saw on some dude's website that you can also bend DOWN the upper game contacts, but all I could get to were the lower game contacts which I bent upwards (didn't mess with the contacts that go to the motherboard). Will try not pushing the game down, seems like I may have already tried that. Does the connector ever just finally call it quits for some reason? Also, does anyone have a good method of cutting the contact on the lockout chip (ie, what tool to use). Maybe cutting that would make it less fussy?

I recently received a NES from ebay that was supposed to work but doesn't. I have pulled the 72 pin and bent the pins upward (it's now a little tough to get a cartridge in there, so they're surely tight). Didn't work, even after cleaning them and the game contacts with alcohol (used ethyl alcohol, does this make a difference?). Then I tried the sandpaper method with 100 grit sandpaper. I didn't sand for 5 minutes, but did it enough thtat the contacts look clean. Stilll doesn't work. I evn cleaned the contacts to the motherboard and it still doesn't work! Any suggestions (I'm trying to avoid buying the 72 pin!).
