Repair an Old NES System for a Few Dollars [Weekend Project]

Wired's Chris Kohler and his brother Dan show in the above video that given a screwdriver, a 72-pin connector available for a few dollars online, and a wee big of patience, the garage-bound game sysem can be revived and made ready for duck hunting, Koopa-stomping, or whatever lies inside the cartridges you haven't sold off.
