I would ask the group for recommendations on cleaning the roller assembly and
inductor to ensure good conductivity after I am done.

Hi Ron,

One contact cleaner that I used that was better than most was
Cramolin. This is a monomolecular layer solution that you would use
very sparingly. However, as your tuner did not arrive brand-new (or
brand-used) with it, your problem may be more mundane.

The simplest way to defeat corrosion is with pressure.

For continued use you must have a wipe or what is termed a
scrubbing action. Period. Even with silver or gold the lack
of scrubbing action will permit intermitent contact unless
the power is high enough to blow away the oxides.

tension of the roller may have slackened up over the years.
