My concern is I
don't want to use any sort of cleaner that will harm
whatever material the surrounding pcb is made of (as it appears to be made
out of an older, thicker material than most modern PCB's I see).
If the underlying material is copper, why not one of the ion-exchange instant silverplate
solutions like Cool-Amp or Caswell Silverplater? They deposit a very (one molecule) thin
layer of silver that might do the trick for a restoration. Caswell also m

The exposed copper doesn't look to be underlying.
Well, here's a pic of what the cart and connector normally looks like -

As you can see, the PCB is much thicker than a standard PCB of today. I'm
assuming its made of a different material then (which is why I'm hoping
people on here in to mini's and such from that period of around 1972 would
be familiar).
The contacts themselves are what are tarnishing and turning green, some
with white deposits.
