Bmmfic,

Sad to say the relays are no longer avialiable for the 300-A's and have been gone for quite a while now.

That is the Major problem with them, the relay's go then the amp goes.

They used to make a Replacement Relay for them but again also history now.

You will find a lot of the 300-A's on Internent Auction Sites and that is the major reason they are there because the relays are shot.

About 2 years ago after 2 straight weeks of hunting the internet I was lucky enough to find a Stock set of 3 ~ NIB and the guy wanted $375.00 US, plus shipping for the three and I said No Way.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Do you have the number on that relay? Look for something like R10-E1W2-V185. If you can't find the number, how many poles does it have or just count all the terminals sticking out of the bottom of the relay.

The R10 relay should be easy to find. I'll check on the others. Look at the relay again. The "m2" indicates that it is a DPDT with the numeral being the number of contacts. If the highest terminal number on the bottom is a 10 then it is a DPDT. The "M" indicates the contact style and rating which I can't find an "M" in current production so you could just error on the side of caution and us a "W" which is rated at 7.5 amps. So you would need a R10-E1-W2-V185 for 7.5 amp contacts or a R10-E1-X2-V185 for 5 amp contacts.
