Different cleaning and electrical agents have been outlawed due to causing health problems. I am retired from the Telephone Co. At one time we used carbon tetra- chloride for cleaning contacts -- it will kill you; not right now, but over a period oftime. A dirty nickel is a poor conductor; poor conductivity could be the reason for over heating. I am involved with pipe organs. The first of Jan. 1990 several pipe organ builders produced a new NEC code for pipe organs. The insulation and fusing is the main topic, plus the wire sizing to carry the projected load. Personally, a few minor safety improvements doesn't destroy the historical value anymore than a better (newer) stain or finish.
