I just got my AVS yesterday (huzzah)!
Looks great, love it... except, I'm having a difficult time inserting NES cartridges. They certainly are NOT going in easy. Not even close. Anyone else having this issue? Granted, I have not inserted an NES cartridge in years, yet I don't recall it being exactly the most challenging thing mentally or physically :/
I'm wondering if I could have gotten a defective AVS?
Thanks,

On a semi-separate topic, I had the chance not too long ago to use a NES that was used just a couples of times so it was practically new, and there was no resistance and absolutely no feedback when you inserted the cart.
My OEM 72-pin connector gives me some feedback even if I have never pulled the metal pins. I am wondering if it is age or the production date of the console (the "new" one was probably from the 1990s as its serial number was very high).
Yeah, having to force a cartridge in is NEVER a good idea. The "oh, it just needs time and it will fit in smoothly" excuse, while probably correct, is still an excuse. Could be an engineering fault, or possibly the AVS was made on the cheap, or both, although I would guess the later. Don't get me wrong, the AVS is well worth getting despite this.
