I know this is obvious, and you probably already know this, but do NOT work on
the flash heads while connected to the T-Power!  There are several kV of power
present when the flash is fired and it can give you quite a jolt.  If you do
find the contacts are oxidised and/or corroded, the only real fix is to replace
the contacts, not just clean them.  The high voltage running though them will
likely cause the problem to re-appear.
