and make sure to rub in the direction of the metal finger, not against it.  You can lift them that way.  And I'd wipe it down with alcohol afterward just because.

ChadTower:

I've never seen an Atari cab where just cleaning the connectors did much good for more than the very short term.  Clean off the edge connectors and then re-tin them.  Replace the pins in the harness connectors if you want the game reliable again.

2600:
System2 boards like Paperboy don't have your typical edge connectors.  Power and everything is done via headers.  The only edge connector is to connect the CPU to the Video board.

I wouldn't worry about a cap kit until you get something working.  Where are you located?

deathbot:
I'm in Central Florida.  :badmood: I have been out of town, but I am back and ready to get back on track with this project. I should be able to post some pics tomorrow, just so I can get some feedback and support from the community.
