Use a wire brush and a spray bottle with CLR (calcium, lime, rust) to get the rust off those terminals. For one is looks like crap and it will not make good contacts. I dont know if the AMP would work, depending on the conditions of the shed. |

Home Depot has only big bolts and stuff, go to like ACE hardware or something like that and take in either the whole AMP or just the small screws and get a whole bunch of new ones. Should only cost under $1. They dont need to be gold plated. I doubt you will find gold screws at a store like ACE. |

have the amp bench tested to see if it works.
the terminals can be cleaned or replaced.
