Thanks for mentioning that the 70 psi is the shutdown point.
I'm guessing it's measuring that right off the bladder, even though the
gauge is on the pump itself.

Given that the gauge generally reads the same all the time, that 70 psi
"might" also be the pressure of the column of water in the full tanks (I'd
have to do the F=P/A math) where the tanks are ten feet high a few feet
behind the motor).

One thing I need to look at is whether the pressure gauge shows a lower
pressure when the home has no water pressure. I "think" it always shows the
same pressure - so that's why I think it might be showing the pressure of
the water column BEFORE it gets to the pump (I'd have to check in the
morning as I had not thought about it until now).

The thing you're calling the relay is the pressure switch.
Notice the tube leading away from it.

Ah. That tube. I didn't notice it until you mentioned it!

Hmmmm... so the pressure coming out of the bladder is NOT being sensed.
I don't see *any* wires or sense tubes coming out of the bladder tank!

That is interesting. If I bypass that, the pump should go on and off
(depending on if it's normally open or normally closed).

For it to be a pressure switch, it needs a 'sensor' somewhere.
Maybe the sensor is under those contacts?

I'd probably just replace the entire pump. There will be wear on
the impeller so it won't be at its most efficient.

I don't disagree. I've disassembled plenty of pumps, where almost all the
time the outdoor water pumps have these long bolts that break EVERY damn
time. I spend most of my time trying to get them out.

Meanwhile, the bearings are frozen onto the shaft (especially if they were
making noise).

The good news is that bearings are dirt cheap - the bad news is that taking
apart the motors generally is impossible due to those long bolts that
break.

I don't mind replacing the pump, but I can't find an exact one on Google.
The model number just doesn't match anything. I do have an email that I
sent to GE and I will call General Electric in the morning to ask where I
can get a replacement.

I'm not beholden to GE - but I have to match that 'frame'.
Do you have advice as to what the frame is?
I don't see it explicitly on the label.

Do you?
