[Boatanchors] connector cleaning

[Al Parker]

Hi Ray,
	If they are silver plated and only "tarnished", that blackness is just 
silver oxide, which is conductive.  It doesn't need to be "cleaned", 
it's OK as-is.  Don't use silver polish, etc., it's not needed and could 
remove some of the silver plate.

I want to remove them from the coax and clean them for reuse and am wonderingwhat 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 forlong periods of time. I was thinking maybe silver polish???
