No answer, and this looks promising. Have you tried this? If so, let

Silver may be a fine conductor (6% better than copper), but it tarnishes in
air readily, and though the silver-oxide CONDUCTS (the "magic" of silver that
makes it popular for contact-points), it is VERY SOFT, and anything as thin
as the ferrules you are all chattering about won't do ANY good here, unless
perhaps "hex-crimped" gas-tight with a $400 tool.
