How remove oxydation from spades?


I've got a pair of Analysis Plus Silver Oval speaker cables, a couple of years old, and the spades have oxydation on them. What do you recommend to clean it up?
Thank you.

My favorite tool is called the Rush-Eraser. It looks like an aluminum pencil with a knurled knob sticking out one end. Turning the knob feeds micro fine fiberglass bristles out the end where they can be put to work scrubbing everything from tube pins and circuit boards to electrical plugs and spades.

It is possible to remove too much with any abrasive method, but as Bob points out, micro fine abrasives do a great job without leaving contaminates behind.

The Rush-Eraser is manufactured in Syracuse, New York by the Rush Company. I have been using their products on stereo connections for more than fifteen years with excellent results.
If you are unable to locate a dealer for Rush Eraser products, you can phone them at 315-454-3237.

To access online, the link I have provided below will take you to the page with images, specifications and prices.

I use the metal body AA0020 because it is a permanent investment, requiring only refills occasionally.

Other way to go is the AA0200 or AA0210. Both are plastic bodies and are cheap enough to use and dispose of. None of these amount to more than $10.00, unless the manufacturer has a minimum order that I have forgotten about. If they do, go in with buddies and by a few and make everyone happy.

Good luck.
