Some relay contacts can be reconditioned. You can burnish them
with a contact burnisher, and in some cases actually replace the
contact point itself. You can find identical contacts from
another relay and replace them.

Gold plated contacts cannot be burnished without ruining them.

Reconditioning contacts was common practice in arcade game
service in the electromechanical days.

The main question is if the relay contacts can be reconditioned?

Have done some searches to see if anyone else had posted this question.
So far nothing but did come across a few interesting relay postings
