If you expected Analogue to have a reasonable amount of product (ready for release or otherwise), you have not been paying attention.
Do I still need to blow in the cartridges?
If it’s anything like Analogue Pocket then the contact points will need to be in pristine condition. Blowing on them might not do the trick but isopropyl swab should.
I like to take one step further and use a white pencil eraser followed by IPA. Helps get more of the dirt and oxidation off.
This may be enough for most cases but I prefer to hit the inside of my cartridges with a sand blaster and then soak the entire thing in hydrochloric acid, really gets it good
I get this is supposed to be a joke but why is it funny?
My rule of thumb: Better delayed than unfinished or unusable.
It’s different when the company is know for causing artificial scarcity though
I see
