+atari2600land Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 One of my games needed cleaning, so when my mom went to the store, i told her to get rubbing alcohol. she comes back with 70% isopropyl. I've read somewhere that the best is somewhere above 90%. Would using this 70% stuff be ok or will it hurt the game? Probably not, but I just want to make sure.

chris_lynx1989 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I've ALWAYS used 70 or 91% Isopropyl Alcohol on my Lynx carts and others.Though NOW most are saying to use Hydrogen Peroxide on your gold card edge contacts.It is a judgement call now,I guess.I've used alcohol with no problems over the last some 20 yrs,I guess.I'm going to give the peroxide a try too to see which works any better or the same.I'll let you know.

shadow460 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 70% should be fine. It's a staple in my game cleaning stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yeah, nothing wrong with 70%. Just means it has a little more water in it then 91% does. No worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
