Ok fellow Towertalkians.
Happy Holidays to all.

Now first off...I'm not penny wise and dollar foolish.
But I'm not wasteful either.

While cleaning the old junk box I found a couple of corroded barrel
connectors.
Don't look bad but a little whiteish like crud on the metal.
Insulation seems good, no readable short using a vom.

I don't mind a wirebrushing if it's worth it.
Or can they survive a dunking into a solvent?
Or...
Should I throw them away and be safe?
No idea on the manufacturer.
