A (much too) long set of youtube videos:
part 1 (don't bother) , part 2 (don't bother) , part 3 (shows the final result; shown from 1m50s through 4m)
He disassembles a NES and tries to (and eventually succeeds at) design a replacement actual ZIF socket for the NES. Unfortunately, then he puts it in incredibly ugly case. And something like 30% of the videos are product placements for element14 (née Newark). Even so, I think his replacement socket and loader is pretty awesome—it reminds me of the VCRs the front-loader was trying to look like.
