Cosmin, A buddy of mine turned me on to a device called a 'quench-arc',
which is simply a high value resistor with a capacitor in parallel, in a
package the size of a large resistor. Any time I overhaul anything with
'sparky' contacts, I install quencharcs across the contacts. Clothes
dryer timer, start winding switch on a washing machine, even the high
beam flasher switch comes to mind too.

Electronic stores sell them, but probably not Radio Shack: "You've got
Questions, We've got Acne"
