I am hoping to restore my TRS-80 Model-I(s). As is usually

could get that let you "gold plate" the edge connectors.
Is anything like that still available? How about reflowing
the pads using something like silver solder?
If neither of these is doable or practical, what are people
doing to clean up these connectors?
Anent that, here's an oldie but goldie:

Now that was cool. But, somehow I doubt it is still available.
