You can easily change the cartrdige connector on the NES and it's advised to clean the rust on the cartridges with some special chemical products sold just for NES games. That's what I did on my 60hz region unlocked NES and most of my games. Now all my games work perfectly the first time, no need to blow on the connectors.
When you blow on the connectors it adds water (which can help for the electrical connection) but it increases the rust process and further damage the cartridges connectors... Don't do it.
Anyways, my older console is probably my japanese N64 I bought no longer after japanese launch (maybe 19 years ago). It was a tank. It even survived a whole night under the rain. But unfortunately I broke it trying to add RGB output... how stupid!
