So, I've been looking at a few OEM refurbished 72 pin connectors for the NES on Ebay, but unsure if these are worth it or not to fix the occasional blinking light I get, despite all of my games being very clean. Any inputs regarding this are greatly appreciated!!

I did the swap once on my old unit and never had a problem again. If you use your NES often, or can’t because it happens so much, it’s definitely worth the 15-20 minutes.

Got very good news regarding that. I found out that a retro game store I regularly visit actually provides this service with OEM 72 pins at $18, and definitely felt like I got my money's worth, as the refurb pins alone are like $11-12, and they're extremely reputable and a reasonable bunch! Not that I couldn't do it myself, but hey, $18 flat for all of that is darn amazing, and made sure to really clean the games I have well before inserting any of them into the pin connector to secure my purchase; definitely something I recommend anyone doing after replacing pins or deep cleaning them.
