And, it so turns out that the previous owner had replaced the relay by kluge wiring it on the bottom of the board, holding it down with elephant-snot glue. Which, in turn, was eating the wiring.
In any case, I will order the relay tomorrow and correct the "modifications" made to the board.

Huh... *I* use elephant-snot glue. It's not as durable as animal hide glue but it's a lot cheaper and doesn't smell nearly as bad...
A new relay (exact fit) is $80 from the same company that made them for HK. Not bad for an obsolete part. but about 10X the cost of a similar unit.
Is the relay really $80 or were you exaggerating? If it is, replace it with *anything* else that will fit. If you don't have something, I just might.
