I once watched a guy build a 1KW linear out of surplus parts. He had this
beautiful silver-plated tank coil, and this idiot SAMDPAPERED the tarnish

I polished the roller coaster ATU in my 62 set with Brasso many years ago,
but i think that was solid silver wire?
My concern was to get a low resistance contact with the pick up wheel,
rather than any surface effect.
