magic tricks for how to clean the gold contacts inside of the backplane edge
card connectors? I'm afraid to experiment and looking for wisdom... :)
Jay,
I use an old IBM 80 col punch card and fold it in half and wet with
alcohol and work in in and out of the socket. If it's a loose fit then fold
in half again. If it's too big, then cut it down to size with scissors.
