Tom-
Sounds like you want to keep things original, but consider:
-The original relay is expensive on eBay, and there are many being sold as
KWS-1 relays that do not have the extra contact set.
-The original relay is DC. The DC supply has a selenium rectifier in it,
which is generally considered to be a time bomb. At minimum, you should replace it
with a modern diode.
-There's a simple way to rewire the power supply so that it supplies 110VAC
to the relay instead of DC, which means you can now use a much more commonly
available Dow-Key, 110VAC, with external contacts, and SO-239s. details on
request.
