You mentioned polarising and cleaning/polishing the points; did you try to adjust the air gap?
The cutouts I recall had a spring hooked over a tab on the back of the piece that held the top point, the piece that ran over the top of the little coil and closed downward, meeting the fixed bottom point to close the points. The spring tension could be adjusted by bending the tab the bottom end of the spring is hooked to,to give more tension to pull the points open, etc.
The fixed (bottom) point was usually mounted on a long upside-down U-shaped little "stand", the two legs of the upside-down U generally bent inward about halfway up, like being a little knock-kneed. The bottom point could be raised by straightening the legs a bit, or lowered by bending the legs closer together. With us it was a hit or miss situation; if the cutout wasn"t working, fiddling with the point gap and spring pressure couldn"t make it any worse, and sometimes got it working again.
