Oh stop it Steve! I'm just an old dabbler of ancient brown boxes. If I'd been around as a child in 1890 I would have probably been employed cleaning up horse dung on Westminster Bridge. [One of my customers actually did that]

A brass wire brush, 1800 grade paper, De Oxit and a touch of MS4 clears the bad contact problem for ever. Some of the EF50s have silver plated pins so you have to be careful. They can be recognized due to the pins being tarnished completely black!
Thanks for your comments. Regards, John.
