My buddy swore by using a $20 ultrasonic cleaner for old game console boards

I thought it was a gimmick until I pulled a perfectly clean NES main board out after 15 minutes, no scrubbing needed. Anyone else have a tool they doubted that actually works this well?

I was totally in the same boat about those cheap cleaners! They seemed like junk. Seeing that board come out spotless was a real shock. It completely flipped my view on the whole idea. Now I won't clean a cartridge without it. The time saved is just unbelievable.

My old toothbrush method feels so dumb now.

Seriously, I had the exact same shock cleaning a grimy old Genesis board!
