Relay Contact repair

[We Gone]

Looked around could not find much on this, I have an old 70's unit with a relay contact that is gone.. used up. the other contacts are still in good condition.

Is there a way to save it or replace the contact point? Or would it be easier to replace the complete relay?

On electro-mechanical games, the contacts can be filed and burnished to restore proper operation, unless they're too badly burnt. In that case, the 'stack' of insulating spacers and contacts can be carefully dissected and the blade(s) with the burnt contact(s) replaced individually. The stack is assembled around two circular 'cores', which are hollow to allow fixing to the playfield or relay frame. I'd think that the U.S. pinball suppliers would still carry this type of contact, maybe as an 'assortment' box.

Thanks still looking around to see what I can find, The contact point is completely gone on one side. I was thinking if I could find one I could secure it with a drop of solder as it looks like the original was put on much like a rivet in place.
