Well…… some people don’t throw out “stuff” and I don’t throw out emails…. 30 years ago I put Potter Brumfeld relays in my E-15 and haven’t touched them since… here’s an email from
2005 from Gordon Trump on replacing them….. …Walt -----Original Message----- I replaced my dashboard relays with the following items. They are from MCM InOne (electronics distributor) in Ohio. The catalog is on-line. relay 28-4950 $6 each DPDT 10 amps socket 28-4951 $7 each The relays can be mounted in the sockets of course- they are small and narrow, good fit. The relays also have upside-down mounting ears so you can mount them "terminals up" and use the existing push--on connectors. My connectors are
weak and corroded so I used the sockets. These relays are 24 volts 600 ohm coils. I used a 270 ohm/ 2 watt resistor in series with each coil. They operate fine and do not get nearly as hot as the old relays. From: Jeff Antonucci [mailto:jlantonucci comcast net]
I have used the modern drop in replacements from Jim Coate at the Electric tractor store. They work great and are much more reliable than the 40 yr old Gaurdian relays. Jim and Bill I have been successfully operating 3 Electraks here in North Andover MA and you may remember that I bought several $1000 of parts from Bill from 1998-2006. I am trying to find the new style closed cube-style relays to replace the original open GE signal contactors like 1F and 2F in E15 and 16. The For-Rev is giving me trouble and I have cleaned it and fixed a
couple of times but it is just too old and spent and needs replaced. Bill Gunn at Technical Services (Edgerton, WI) had modern cube-type replacements for these DPDT 36VDC coil relays but hje is long out of the Electrak parts business. Do you have any ideas for this? Text also fine. Long term, I suppose putting in a Curtis SepEx controller and doing away with all the relays, resistors and complexity makes sense in stead of chasing these things forever but I always figure there is only one thing broken right now so
I should just fix it! Thanks, James James Worden 978 771-6574 (text or call)
