Default Re: Restoring electrical parts

Is the wiper steel? I think I'd go with nickel. Even though the nickel will have a higher resistance, gold or copper plating would wear too quickly. These are normally a high tensile bronze to give it spring. You might just try cleaning it.

Is the washer replaceable? Are the contact rivets/posts removable?
