[ARC5] roller inductors

[Dennis Monticelli]

Joe,

I presume you are dealing with silver plate.  DeOxit is perfectly OK for
removing the oxidation and not leaving behind a residue that is harmful to
the inductor.  That's a lot of surface area so be prepared for repeat
applications.

If you remove the inductor it's easier to deoxidize it.  If completely
removed you could also go the silver cream route and then wash completely
afterwards.

A coating of the Caig ProGold will keep the silver plate looking good.
