[AMRadio] Dow Key style relays

[CL in NC]

I guess as a new novice in the 60's, the Dow Key relay was up there with Drake and Collins of wants.  I used a toggle switch at first, then a rotary to gain some extra contacts to mute the RX.  In my real world of work, when I had hundreds of Dow Key type coaxial relays to maintain, I came to loathe them.  The one or two that I eventually picked up and used, went to the junk box and a plain ol' open frame in a box with connectors put in service.  That is basically bullet proof.
