Neutralize the vinegar after dissolving the corrosion? I've not done that, but seems plausible.
It works. I've done it quite a few times. I have used a Dremel tool to buff the contacts and used a light coating of dielectric grease to prevent further corrosion.
A brush on the dremel?
Yes, wear gloves and eye protection. Those small wires would be a nightmare get out of your skin even more so for the eyes.
