And just saying, if it’s the 72 pin connector, you don’t need a new one. Just pop yours out and bend the pins back out. It’s very very easy, honest to God there’s no reason to get a new one. I have new ones in my closet, probably 20 of them, but I’ve never really needed to use any of them.
If you don’t want to fool with that PM me your address and I’ll send you one.
My childhood NES had a capacitor go out recently and the color was off. It still worked it was just ugly.
I have like 10 of them so I just swapped my case, but for some silly reason it’s like I don’t feel connected to the “spirit” of the machine because of it.
I’m going to have to order new capacitors and you just reminded me.

I have an NES that just needs a simple fix. I keep saying that I’m going to get to it too.
