[TowerTalk] Rotor Querstion

I have a HyGain Tailtwister rotor that works just fine, but the thing is sometimes intermittent
because the contacts on the terminal strip have rusted, making a good connection difficult. Anyone
have any ideas I might do to clean those terminals without actually removing the entire strip of 8
terminals? Getting inside the rotor from this angle to swap this terminal strip for a new strip will
not be easy, and I really don't want to break the case open to make the change from the inside.
Hence my dilemma.
I have thought about trying to clean the existing strip by sanding, but I can't get into where the
actual contact is made. I had someone recommend using Naval Jelly to clean the rust away, but that
seemed kind of harsh.
I am open to thoughts and any ideas the group might have.
Thanks in advance.
Dave, W8QW
