Hi,
I know this is slightly off-topic, but I figured that one of you guys would know something about it. I'm in the process of rebuilding one of those rotary drum reversing switches for a machine tool. The contacts are dirty and slightly corroded, but in pretty good shape overall. They seem to have the remainder of some kind of lubricant on them, and I'm wondering if they should be relubricated after cleaning. They are a "wiping" style of contact, and operate a fractional HP single-phase motor. If so, what is a good lubricant to use?
Thanks,
Paula
