The ZIF problem is more talk than actuality.  Even replacing the cart connector on most NES will only make them a bit more reliable.  The main problem was the security chip - the one that sits on both the console and every licensed game - that is very unreliable.  That is what causes the blinkiness.  In order to get an NES reliable again you have to disable that chip but cutting one pin and tying it to ground.

Replacing the ZIF slot fixed both mine and a friends NES. I agree with you there as well. I also did hear that the security chip does cause quite a few problems with the NES.

Up to 6500$ now.  If you think about it, back in the day those sold for about 45$ each.  That's about 30,000$ worth of games.   The collection would be cool to say you have but I prefer roms.   They take up a whole lot less space. :P
