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 business letters.
My little strips came out with a bit of a dark smudge, but I'm thinking
I can probably get more smudge if I keep it up for longer and do
multiple passes, and use deoxit, and a hemostat, etc. After that, the
relay gave me 40-50 good cycles and went back to being wonky.
Thanks Robert, I can't really see if they're pitted. I'll be cautious
of abrasives.
Thanks everyone!

What's the best way to clean the contacts of an open-frame TR relay?
I'm hoping to just clean the relay without disassembing the amp, but
the contacts are a little hard to get at.
