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



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.
