[NJARC] Clarion call: weird electrical connector?

[Matt Reynolds]

Al,

Thanks for the details.  I'll check out the link. 

Yes, the shiny clean ones are not mine.  I'll take a picture (or bring the actual one tomorrow).  I could just replace it, but it's one of those things that costs little but shipping would be high, and I don't need anything else to order from the parts suppliers right now.

The crimps are fine, everything is nice and tight, it's just heavily rusted\corroded on the resistor side.  The terminal side for the other connection is not very clean either, but with the fiberglass pen I was able to get a shiny finish (took off some of the plating).

The fiberglass pen just keeps cracking away on the strands because it's not a flat surface.  will try a brass wire brush or something.  Sort of afraid to disassemble it because i don't want to stretch out\loosen the connections unless i had something to replace if I broke them.

Thanks all for the lively discussion.  Gotta love Lucas electrics...

Regards,

Matt
