[NJARC] Clarion call: weird electrical connector?

Matt,

First off, I assume the nice, clean resistor pac's in the picture are 
not the ones you're trying to rehab.

Connectors of that type are called Amp Fast-ons.  the company has 
morphed into TE Connectivity.
The whole catalog is HERE

Scroll down to "tabs."  Unfortunately the ones you have are probably 
custom made, and if you replace them there may be a problem making 
proper connections yo the resistance wire.  Is the problem dirty tabs, 
or is it bad crimp connection to the resistance elements?

My two cents,
Al
