While an attempt at boiling the 72-Pin connector did improve things with this NES, it didn't restore it to 100% functionality. I attempted a second boil, cleaned some games, and end up re-bending the connector pins. Tools used in this video:

Giottos Rocket Air Blaster - http://amzn.to/1GhsGtw (highly recommend!)
Contact cleaner - http://amzn.to/1oH0auN
Dental picks - http://ebay.to/1Ghu9QB
Replacement 72-pin connector - http://ebay.to/1rZabUi

This version of the video has most of the individual game testing cut out.
