so you remember all to well the memories of blowing the cartridge and getting the cartridge in the NES just enough so that the game would work when it started going on the blink, lol
Oh, yeah. Except now I know better, I installed new 72 pin connectors on all three of my model one NES's and I clean all my games with rubbing alcohol before use. Blowing into the carts just makes the contacts more dirty.

Also if you have a new pin connector you don't have to press the carts down for them to work, they have a nice tight fit already. Besides the whole pressing the carts down thing was a design flaw, it puts the pin connector under tension and after a while they don't make good contact, that's really why the games wouldn't work.
