Not with the Begali 'alloy' contacts it won't!  I struggled with them 
for some time, trying all kinds of things, including deoxit, without 
solving the problem of funny contact resistance behavior. I wonder if 
the reshaping/polishing is a permanent fix, too.  I finally bit the $$ 
bullet and ordered replacement gold (plated?) contacts which work great.
