     I agree with David Stinson that new connectors may be a 
better answer but if these are just tarnished the tarnish 
can be removed with silver polish or a cleaner like Zud of 
Barkeeper's Friend and a toothbrush. Zud and Barkeeper's 
Friend use oxalic acid, a reducing agent which tends to 
convert silver oxide back into silver. I find them a bit 
easier to control than cleaners using phosphoric acid like 
TarnX.

I have a number of SO 239 connectors on the ends of coax 
that have been exposed to the weather for a long time.
They are tarnished, but not corroded.  I want to remove them 
from the coax and clean them for reuse and am wondering
what others would suggest as cleaning methods or what to use 
to clean them.
It would be a shame to toss them all out because they are 
tarnished and have been exposed to the elements for
long periods of time.

I was thinking maybe silver polish???
