Just bought a couple of Southwire 6x3 & 8x1 Spoder box extension from a retiring house builder.   I cleaned most of thed mud off the cables - a zen afternoon task :-)

The blades aren't shiny and the 'center' male prong is kinda dark.

Should I be concerned ?  If so, what is the best method / material for cleaning ?

No I do not want to replace the connecteors at $130 a set for Hubble...

A squirt of De-oxit and some really fine emery cloth.

Nail buffer boards from the beauty shop will let you get in there to polish the blades. A copper bristle brush also works well. Get them at ye ole gun shoppe.

The Red DeOxit 5% is the only product that has any cleaning action per CAIG. Electrical contact cleaner does a better job and you can DeOxit after to protect the metal.

The Center pin on a 120/240V CS50 doesn't carry anything, it's mechanical support. The ground is on the outer body of the receptacle.
