Sirs,
A gentleman came to me needing to have a 147 amp repaired as it is making a huge pop when switching speeds. I will begin by replacing the two blocking caps wired to the motor outlets on the amp,along with a third cap wired across the octal plug and hopefully this will cure it. As I was checking the other components I noticed one set of points on the relay are very worn and pitted badly so I suggested this ahould also be replaced,which he agreed to. My go-to is always TWGH but I find no listing other than the solid state conversion. Are these original style relays all used up, and if so would I be wise to use the box type relay offered by Antique Electronics (Tubes and More)? I would rather not use the solid state unit having installed them on two seperate occasions a few years ago and both failed within a year,so I have little faith in them and prefer original style parts wherever possible.
Thank you in advance,
?John
