[Amps] Cleaning open frame TR relay

[Mark - N5OT]

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!
