Well, I know for sure I was not sanding on the plastic, but that really is of not much concern to me. The contacts were corroded and tarnished, and the grit on the filing sponge is pretty high (I don't think it is 1,000, but it is up there). It feels pretty much the same as a green scrubby sponge like you mentioned. If I was using a 400 grit or something like that, I can imagine that some damage was done. I can try an eraser sometime. The SFII game was really in bad shape. All the other games required only a slight rubbing to get them to work properly.Hobie-wan wrote:Plus you're sanding on the cart shell too. I use a green scrubby sponge on basket case carts as it is less abrasive. When you can see what you're doing on the contacts it's easier to tell when you've cut through the crap without ending up causing more damage and exposing the copper which will tarnish and require constant cleaning.
I bet you went down to the copper at least on some of the contacts on the SFII.
Well, the video is about cleaning up games found in junk piles of game shops. I just mentioned how I had found a package of games for super cheap because they were counted as junk, and that they cost only 300 yen. I've seen Battle Pinball go for 6 times that amount on its own, cart only. Many people have subscribed to me because I do videos on shopping for games and other stuff in Japan.Redifer wrote:I had a hard time watching this because I wanted you to get to the point instead of talking about random game stores and whatnot. People will see the title of the video and expect the video to be about that.
