You can always buy a new NES at stores selling old consoles and I think they would not be costing you too much.
But if you talk abour repair, I don't know.

Then just sit here and wait for Revolution to be released.
Repairing an old console /hardware / AV product / anything may sometimes be even costly than buying a new one.

Will the Revolution be able to play 3rd party games?

Don't know yet. Nintendo is in talks with third parties over whether they want their games available. Even Sega has expressed an interest in having old Master System and Mega Drive games playable on it!
I'd imagine some of the best NES games by third parties will be revived on Revolution. Konami, Namco, Capcom, Hudson, etc. will more than likely bring their classics to the table, much like they did for the NES Classics range.

about the nes, I read online that most nes don't work because the pin connecter is too dirty. Could I just take a Q-tip and clean the inside? Is there a cleaning kit I could use?

There was a cleaning kit available, and they still pop up on eBay from time to time. But if the fault is mechanical then that won't work. There's bound to be a website out there somewhere.

I just attepted to clean the pin connecter and that did nothing. What is the cleaning kit like? I have this thing called the eliminator which is this cartrige that you plug in the pin connecter and is supposed to clean it but it doesnt work well. Are those new pin connectors any good? And when people say toaster nes do they mean the original?

I don't think so. They're probably referring to the elusive top-loading NES, which came out after the SNES with some stupid marketing slogan (evolve or become extinct). The original NES is more like a toaster oven than a toaster.

I ordered a new pin connector. I hope that works well.
