Back in "The Day" it was preached never, ever to file or sand points. And I more or less went along with it–more or less. But now I do it all the time, with no problems. I disassemble the points and do one contact at a time with 400 grit wet-or-dry silicone carbide paper. Use something like a piece of hacksaw blade to back up the sandpaper and use it like a file. Any buildup on the contact should be removed, but it is not necessary to remove all the pitting on the opposite contact. After all, remember "vented points" with a hole through one contact?
