1. Ispropyl will not clean the oxidation from the card edge finger 
patterns, you'll need to use something like a pencil eraser for that.

I don't like that discoloration around the lower right 7406, possible 
corrosion?

If, when the controller is plugged in, and the coco turned on, and assuming 
other game carts work normally, what do you get as a sign on screen when 
you turn the coco on?

Cheers, Gene
