Fixing cartridges to load properly

I had 2 parker brother cartridges I could not get to work after using various cleaning methods on the cartridge contacts (usually alcohol isopropyl 70% does the trick)...

 

I tried ultra thin black sand paper on both sides of the contacts and to my surprise the cartridges work perfectly now!!!

 

Am I the first to try this? just figured I share :-D

I'm glad it worked for you, but that's a really destructive way to solve the problem. I've never needed to use anything more abrasive than a paper-towel. I like Break Free CLP for cleaning contacts, it is a light oil with a waxy substance in it that prevents future corrosion. A few wipes and you're back in business.

 

cheers,
