I know a guy who sells glue and does an impressive demo at the swap
meets. He glues rubber, glass and metal in seconds and claims you can
twist two wires together and just use his glue without any solder. I'd
like to try some of it, but he sells the stuff for $20 an ounce. But
it is amazing.

If the leads are oxidized like that, switching to RA-flux solder will
improve your life. I have a bunch of old parts that I still use, and RA
is the bomb.
So is a small solder pot where you can clean & re-tin the leads at
the same time. I used one for years to clean the pins on used ICs, and
old stock components. It's easier to deflux loose components than ones
in an assembly.
