    Goo Gone can be bought almost anywhere...Wal-mart, etc.



    I bought my security bits from MCM Electronic as part of a screwdriver set.

    Yeah, Goo gone is all over the place.  You cleaning sticker residue or something?

    Make sure to get some Weiman's cleaner and alcohol if you intend to clean the carts' boards themselves.

    Goo Gone can be purchased at the Dollar Store sometimes - so if it's there...you're only out a $1.  Security Bits pretty much have to be bought online.

    And depending on what stickers you are removing...I recommend also picking up a bottle of Un Du...it works a little bit better for stickers on the label of the game...but at around $7 plus at Michaels...it's gonna eat your wallet in no time.

    In addition, you don't need Weiman...I know that some people go nuts for that stuff...but an eraser works much better.  I use Pink Pearl because they are easy to find.  Just scrub down as hard as you can on the connector with it...and finish it off with rubbing alcohol and walla.

    also the electric quarter is a good place to get security bits.

    I picked up a security bit off ebay a while back.  It really does not work very well in my opinion.  It has trouble latching on.  I have opened several games with it, but it is not real easy.  It also sometimes strips the grey cart somewhat around the edges.  Am I doing something wrong, or do I have a defective bit.  Anyone have advise?

    you need to use it with a screw driver...and yes it is sometimes snug around the edges...this is because each grey cartridge actually has somewhat different sized holes - ... I would just get a holder to put the bit in...and make sure to press down hard as you turn it at first (once you get it going it should do fine)
