And along with the 62 years of unknowing mechanics doing strange things there is a possibility of plain old age oxidizing or depositing an insulating film on the contacts the leafs need to close to bring in the relays and solenoids. This can even be an issue with NOS control switches that have been sitting on a shelf. Oxidation on the time delay contacts was found to be the problem by a fellow who is doing a ground up resto on his 55 that was having no luck with a NOS right out of the box switch. Running a point burnisher strip over the contacts cured the switch.
