So, given that it's a delicate hand-wired
backplane, does anyone have any
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... :)
Spray some mild contact cleaner inside the slot and scrub it with a
tootbrush if you can reach in that far (or remove the backplane from the
chassis). Use some cleaner that preferrably evaporates over time so that
none is left in the slot.
