I have a couple of medium voltage switchgear contacts, with seemingly
silver buttons brazed to them. I have a little heat treating oven. How
can I use it to unbraze the buttons, to what temperature should I set
it?
Thanks



I know this is a very old thread, but all I did to remove my silver was
take a sharp chisel, a hammer, and a vise and the contacts just popped
right off. I had a wide variety of contacts, so some removed easier than
others, but all of them came off without too much trouble. Just make sure
you use a chisel that you don't care about.
