Ah, the days of YORE! Wire spring and flat spring RELAYS! In the days of
old, in yea 1900, when men wore tool pouches and telephone computers were
MONSTERS of relays, the BURNISHER was the first tool issued by your
supervisor to the new employee called a SWITCHMAN! Only later on, when the
enemy, wear and tear got out of control were you told to CUT OFF THE
CONTACT! And WELD on a new one!
Those were the days when MEN were MEN and read trouble on PUNCHED CARDS from
the MASTER TEST FRAME!
I WAS A SWITCHMAN ............. who slaved away in the bowels of that metal
monster cleaning RELAYS !!

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Paragon Problem gets very odd
Does anybody use a burnishing tool to clean contacts? I seem to recall
RadioShack selling such a thing years ago. Not having one, I sometimes
use an old ink eraser. Are there better ideas for this?

things around caused it to make contact and all started working.
I suggest noting the physical positions of the pot adjustments and then
exercising the pots to the extremes several times. Apply a very small
amount of contact cleaner and then exercise again.
