I just received two carts from yaton.
I read in the forums that his carts were dirty but this is just ridiculous. I cant get these white stains off the carts with isopropyl alcohol, does anyone have any suggestions ?

stains on the cartridge case itself or the label?
If they are on the case I would try Goo-Gone.
is this the proper googone ?

Thanks by the way.

Try high grit sand paper and then finish it off by cleaning it up with WD-40
wd 40 on a label? wouldnt that stain it?Originally Posted by Sypth

is the label even worth worrying about? most of his seem to be repros or damaged.

These are from Yaton. My last order came w/ Spiders. SPIDERS.
Just remove the boards, Pot/Pan setting hi-temp wash the shells (NO SOAP), and enjoy your new 'custom' labels.

Who's this yaton guy?
spiders are an extra bonus
yaton sell carts on ebay, his auction pics show stacks of MVS carts so you have no idea what you are getting until it arrives..
If you tell him what you're looking for e.g. good condition English label with serial number then he will send you a picture of the exact cart you're gonna get. They will still be dirty and need a clean
The last cart I got from Yaton had half the sand in Death Valley inside the cart. After emptying it outside, I found that the parts of the pcbs that weren’t sticky were covered in some kind of white, cloudy film.
Funny thing is, MVS carts are so resilient that the carts that I got on the cheap from Yaton still worked, no matter how screwed up they looked.
I like what he ships the games in personally. I know a few members have received their games in pizza & tampon boxes.
Classy
Legend.
YPlus Teknowlogees FTW!
There are some Yaton threads on this site that are BestOf worthy.
Nothing beats the Yaton omake packaging. It's been suggested he send actual items of the ilk he packs your order in.
I would love to get ramen w/ my carts.
He can keep the tampons tho.

That was me.
Whenever I get carts from Yaton I always wash the PCBs.
Yeah, with Yaton carts, it's just easiest to rip the label off (it'll be worn away to nothing anyways) and give the shells and PCBs an industrial cleaning. Then get a replacement label and you'll have a mighty respectable game.
But the labels are real with serials and holographic. I'm trying to get this sticker off of the label without fucking it up.
i wash pretty much everything i buy 2nd hand inside and out.
you should try buying used lego bricks for your kid.

The problem is it's really hard to clean the cartridge shell with the label still on. The PCBs could still get very clean, but there's far too many nooks and crannies in MVS cart shells for manual cleaning to be effective. The best you could do is wipe the outside of the shell, toothbrush the grill vents and hopelessly try to clean the insides.
you can clean the inside with a brush or toothbrush. just have to be extremely careful.

Even a brush isn't as effective as tossing the plastic shells in the dishwasher, or a sink full of soapy water. As I said there's a ridiculous amount of hard-to-reach places inside MVS shells. It's virtually impossible to fully clean a pair without submerging them in liquid.
Of course, that may not bother some people. After all, it's the inside of the shell, hardly anyone would normally be in there. For some it may just be enough to get the roaches out, wipe the insides a bit and put it on the shelf...
I was saying as far as the actual cartridge goes. I'm with everyone else, If you're talking about the label being ruined, it's ruined, just replace it. Especially with old stickers, no matter how much you blow dry them it'll always take some part of the label with it. But definitely don't put WD-40 on that, that's definitely a no-no.

Guess I'm lucky that the Breaker's Revenge cart I bought from him only needed light cleaning.
Ditto. I just got a Breakers Revenge from him last week and was surprised how relatively clean it was. After hearing all the stories, I didn't know what to expect. I guess it's hit and miss with him.
