Hi
I used to find that the contact breaker points needed cleaning after 4 months layup, never mind many years. You won't see the tarnish, but it's there. My cleaning technique is to draw through a folded piece of very fine sandpaper a few times. Best not to use emery as the dust it produces is conductive. The second stage is to remove any residue by drawing through a strip cut from a business card and soaked in switch cleaner.
Good luck !
