Sorry about this incomplete message. It was erroneously sent. I

solution will be to replace the noisy relays with new ones.
That, it would. Stanley makes (made) good stuff, and 28 years ain't
nohow half-bad. If all it is is relays, count yourself lucky.

Might be worth checking to see if there's a diode or rectifier bridge
in
there. A shorted diode could cause AC to be fed to relay coils
expecting DC
which will make them chatter or buzz.
It could also be due to, or exacerbated by, a dried out electrolytic
filter capacitor in the DC supply circuitry.
