There is no reason to pay big bucks for Dow Key relays. I find them at 
hamfests all the time for $35.00 and less. Make an offer and you will usually get it 
for less. You might have to dig through junk boxes under tables to fine them, 
but soetimes they are sitting right out in the open.  I pick one up whenever 
I find one at a reasonable price and have them in use for one thing or 
another. 

Don't forget that the coils on most of the Dow Key relays are interchangable 
so if you see one, even with the wrong coil voltage, pick it up. You will 
eventually find another and can swap if needed. I recently found a box full of 
6VDC relays and the next hamfest, I found a box full of 12VDC and 110AC coils. 
One man's junque box is another ham's treasure!
