Hi Stuart - I appreciate your take on this. And yet... ;-)
A) The Caig web site is particularly clear using such solvents on such
switches is contraindicated. It recommends against using solvents on
switches that employ porous phenolic wafer insulators.
B) While I appreciate the risk of filing down the metal... I am
confident my burnishing tool ...er... "barely scratched the surface." It
is not like I used coarse sand paper or a harsh metal file. ;-)
I considered using a non-abrasive metal polish, but that would have been
awkward and would likely get the insulating wafers wet, which was a
paramount concern.
Happy days - OM.

A burnishing tool should only be used if all else fails, as you are
removing metal forever, if too vigorously used.
