How to renew contacts on a contactor you can't get anymore?

Since Iggy wants to take them off, I thougth I'd ask how do you renew them. I have an old
machine at work that has a Furnas contactor that has a one flaky set of contacts and hte
contactor isn't available, nor will anything modern fit.
Would silver braze work to build them up? Is there a brazing stick made for repairing
contacts?
What's the model of the Furnas? Maybe I have one.
The ones that I want to take off, are huge. 3/4 ounce each, I am
guessing.
As for renewing contacts, I would unbraze the old contacts and fab and
make new ones from proper silver alloy. ($$$$)
