WTB: SB1000 PWR RELAYS? (long)

[GREGORY HEATH]

I knew it would happen eventually!  The relay "k2" in my SB1000 Amp has
crapped out.  Lots of sparks and smoke...not good.  Ahhhh the smell of
burning electronics....brings a tear to my eyes.  Makes me want to go back
to just qrp.   Anybody have an idea where I can get a replacement for these
relays.  The parts numbers from the manual :

C7   69-116    DPST   RELAY     K2

C8    69125    3PDT    RELAY     K1

The "k2" relay is the one that is nonfunctional I believe.  When I turn on
the pwr, with the cover removed, and the safety relay engaged (being very
careful), there is a flash of light from the top relay connection point.
There is also a scorch mark.    Pwr for the amp is the 120 volt line.  I
have tested the relay, and it seems that it works with the front switch.
With the power switch off, there is 120v power on the input to the relay,
and when I turn it on it works fine.  The relay is working, but  the inside
contacts might be welded.  Is it possible that the inside of the switch has
failed?  We had a terible thunderstorm last week and since then it seems
that something is wrong.  I dont think I got a direct hit, but maybe one
that was close.  not sure.  Just wondered if anyone out here  has a clue as
to what could be wrong, or has seen the same thing....
thanks  Greg  kb2qqm
