How can corrosion on the 41C contacts be repaired?

Do they sell new contacts and how much do they cost? Also where do they sell them?

See "repairs & batteries" on this site and go to 41CX repair page (http://www.hpmuseum.org/guest/41repair.htm) for one possibility. Replacement contacts are not available, although you may be able to find a parts calculator that has good terminals. Corroded terminals and cracked screw posts seem like the two biggest reasons for 41s to die.

      
How much would someone pay for new contacts if available?[nt]

They would have come in handy for me a several times. I don't know how often I would buy them, but for the HP-41 series I would buy two sets today for $20.00 each.
