paper as in notebook paper or sandpaper? I'd think you'd need emery cloth/shot of brake kleen then maybe run thru the OE procedure in the shop manual for adjusting the voltage setting. mrrandyj at aol dot com sells an electronic one that has a cover that looks like the OE mechanical you now have for $29 to your door & iirc there is a parts house brand which will accept the OE mech cover off of your current one. When they act up they are problematic & as you know you dont want to chance it full fielding . I would not run it till you deal with it

The replacemt type will look and hook up hjust like OE.Unless you have a 100 point rest show poodle.use one.You can also get them with the factory looking type can instead of the low type or put the OE cover over it.Rocky

I wouldn't use brake cleaner, might melt the varnish on the windings. Use contact cleaner instead. Using emery cloth, fold it over so that you can do both contacts at once, while they are closed. This will help keep you from sanding in a high spot on one of the contacts. If they are especially nasty you can try a points file. Or replace the unit. As RR said, adjust the regulator while you are there.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Do you guys have a part number for the electronic version? I would like to get one for my car but don't want to get a points one by mistake, and when I look them up it didnt specify points or electronic ignition version.

wells VR706 or lookup the eBay one talked about in the nearby "overcharging" thread. I believe most sold these days are electronic. an electromechanical (OE type) unit (that you dont want) will have wire wound resistors visible on the bottom side
