Just received an NES console that a family member found tucked away and I've got a couple questions someone here might know.
-There is a narrow band on the left side of the screen. It is almost unnoticable. Any ideas what would cause it? It is whatever color the dominant or background color on the screen at the time is. So on super mario bros for example, when you start a game it is the color of the sky. Is this maybe just a dirty contact pin?
-The cartridges slide in tight. It is normal when pushing the cartridge down, but inserting and removing the cartridge is tight. The games do always fire up on the first try though. I highly doubt this console has a replaced 72-pin connector so I don't think it would be that issue that comes up with that.
Sidenote: I was surprised how excited people at my New Year's party were to play Duck Hunt.
