Time Warp
Williams, 1979I have all the boards out of my Time Warp and was curious if it would be beneficial, useless, or harmful to brush all the male pin connectors with a fiberglass pen? My thought is that it'll remove thirty years of crud or on the flip side I might weaken the connection or it won't really make that much of a difference one way or the other. Thanks!
It won't weaken anything, and it won't hurt anything, but I tend to just replace them on this era machine.

I automatically do use the fiberglass eraser on all boards I work on. However, if the connector looks real bad, then I replace it.
