I have electronic handheld console devices and video game cartridges, what tips to preserve these devices? |
| Bud:
Preserve while still using them occasionally or preserve in long term storage? |

preserve in long term storage |
| nctnico:
I'd say to try and keep moisture away as much as possible. But some parts (like electrolytics) will dry out anyway so those will need replacing. Having full schematics and digital copies of every programmable device will also help. |
| NiHaoMike:
The ideal would be to seal them up in a bag with dry nitrogen. But since most of us don't have access to pure nitrogen, dry air is the next best. |
