Thanks Rick,
    That's been my concern over the answers I got, I realize it will do the
job electrically, but now the mechanical considerations are a concern - I
did ask about it  being a plug-in.
    I've been looking in the latest Mouser catalog (#614), and can't find a
plug-in version of this relay.  I'll take a look on-line, maybe I'll see it
there.  If anyone knows the correct no., please speak up.  I do know that
this question was answered maybe 2 yrs ago, as I had a TR-4C then that came
to me without a relay.  I think the Mouser price was abt $24  - someone sold
me a used one which did the job, abt half price.  I don't have the rig in
question now, I'm trying to help out a guy in Alabama by fone.
tnx, 73,
