Please note:
In the photo as posted, the pins are clean - free from obvious corrosion, and the different colors represent the tips of the pins where the lead from the glass envelop have been soldered to the pin-

I might wipe those w/ IPA, or a contact cleaner - but nothing else-
the plating on the pins is not that thick, and should be corrosion resistant!

I am going to brush up on that. I was using fine wet/sand paper in the dry mode. Thanks. nt - alaskahiatt 21:29:25 05/25/24 (0)
