Hello Wayne - 

WC>> Likely corrosion I missed on cleaning as Matt suggested
WC>> the blasted bottom of the top contact is tough to get to
WC>> but I've made a tool with some extreamly fine sandpaper
WC>> and shall slip that between the cell and upper contact 

RJT>> An emery board would work here, maybe. 

WC> I have 320 grit silicon carbide I will glue to a thin stiff
WC> plastic piece, Mylar backed so I can wet it a bit on the
WC> last pass. 

I was going to mention that _garnet_ paper conducts electricity
and should never be used to clean electrical contacts. 

--8<--cut 

WC> A project scheduled for way down the road is to attempt to
WC> remove the fast UART from the crapped out 486 and replace
WC> the 8250 UART in it but that is stretching my current
WC> abilities, something a few years ago I'd have tackled in a
WC> heartbeat. 

When neighbors knew neighbors it wasn't unusual for young
children to assist them when sharp eyes and steady hands were
necessary. The young learned a few things and the more
knowledgeable person was allowed to continue to make use of
their experience(s). 

We don't seem to do this as often anymore but I am seriously
thinking it is what I will need sometime in the near future if
I intend to make use of what I have learned.
