$45 is obviously a rip off for that relay. Since Ameritron makes a big deal
about selling any individual part Id start there to get a more realistic
resale price.
To find the source go to your local library and ask for the Thomas Register
that covers the letter R. This is a reference book that cannot be removed.
Make a list of the pertinent info from the relay manufacturers; then its a
matter of detective work.
