Man, all that work and time just to get to the relay. Not even a sealed unit either, so it is prone to this issue all the time and indiscriminately as well?
Yep, it is a little bear to get to. These relays were very high quality back in the 60's. They are even rebuild then by changing out any of the parts, coil, a single contact ect. Most relays of this time were not sealed. I find they can still work with in spec today.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
