and yes theres a clone now. 50 bucks is reasonable i guess. clone cartridges don't exist though. i'm not sure which parts went bad when things went faulty... the contacts in the console or on the cartridge.
It was the contacts in the actual system. Its called the "72 pin". If you look on ebay, the majority of NES deals say that the 72 pin has been replaced, with a better one that doesn't corrode like the original.
