Another thing you might try is if you know anyone who worked for the phone
company you might ask them if they have any access to a contact burnisher
that they used to burnish the contacts on the old stepper switches that are
now out of date. I had a friend out here who worked for phone company out
here and gave me a couple of them once they were surveyed or deemed
obsolete.
It's worth a try. Plus they really work GOOD.
