Discord is currently heading down the tracks like a driverless steam engine with the throttle jammed open and for some reason someone has set the cab on fire and painted a winking smiley face on the front of the firebox |

Yeah, I know it's pretty horrible looking; it's prolly older than my daughter. ;) --- End quote --- For silver tarnish removal an eraser does wonders, without removing any of the underlying silver. --- End quote --- You want to remove some of the silver, to remove the divot (wear crater) and make the contact flat again. As you can see in the pic, there's more than enough material to do this several times. This leaf spring is made of thin hardened brass, so pretty fragile; trying to rub it with a pencil eraser hard enough to remove anything is much more likely to mangle it than do any good. mnem :-/O --- End quote --- Case-by-case use; you don't want to use sandpaper on two flat surfaces, the chance to FUBAR is too big. |
