They're tinned and no, I've not come across those. Sounds as though a visit to Maplins or RS is indicated. The dishwasher idea is appealing but unfortunately the edge connectors aren't readily removable from the board, so maybe not this time. I was wondering about Brasso or Silvo or thereabouts (or even Silver Dip) but haven't summoned up the courage to try yet.
