[TowerTalk] RCS-8 Ameritron coax switch

[epetek1@att.net]

Recently took down the RCS8 switch from the tower where 
it had been for about 8 years. It had stopped 
functioning properly. Upon opening it, I found  a green 
(like copper) oxidation on all the coax connecters. I 
have not yet tested it, but from the condition inside I 
suspect the relay contacts will all have to be cleaned.
Any ideas of how best to clean would be appreciated. I'm 
inclined to hit the coax connectors with a small wire  
brush but anybody else's experience might be of help.
