I am told that soaking the wire in vinegar with a little salt added
shines it up nicely. This was a recent Hints and Kinks item. Buddies
tried it and say that it works. Seems to me that vinegar alone might
work, too. Good luck!

I need to solder a new section of 14 gauge copper antenna wire to a
very old section of wire that is highly tarnished and very old. Other
than pulling each strand apart and attempting to sand off the tarnish
is there an easier way to remove it so that I can solder it
effectively?
