| Hi Wayne, you are wise to be reluctant. The contacts can be restored with a 
 lot less power than 100w; just a few watts will do the trick without 
damaging  the relay contacts.

Hi  Rich
I  read the " hot switch fix"  but I never had to do it  and am reluctant 
to do it..
But the relays tension issue you have reference  to  is the open frame 
one's in the 6 pac  .
