I cut strips of cardstock about 1 cm wide, spray a little Deoxit on them, and put them between the contacts while applying a little pressure to keep the contacts closed. Then I push them back and for

I ran into the same situation. My technique was to use a strip (cut to the width of the contacts) of heavy 80 lb paper about 1.5" long, and secured one end of it to a hemostat. I "soaked" the loose e

Thanks for all the comments.  I'm going the right direction - This morning before I wrote, I didn't use any cleaner, and the paper I used between the contacts was light-weight linen stock for busines
