[Collins] Need relay for 32V2

Folks,

The T/R relay of my 32V2 finally gave up the ghost. Last weekend the HV
didn't come up when attempting to transmit. Today when I pulled the
transmitter out of its cabinet to troubleshoot, during the initial visual
inspection I noticed that part of one of the contacts on the relay - the
SPST section which turns on the HV - is broken in half. I found the broken
flat contact piece with the contact point on the bottom of the cabinet. 
So, the 32V2 is dead in the water until I find a replacement. I'm trying to
avoid a modification which would entail cobbling up a similar contact
arrangement from one or two off the shelf relays which will need a different
voltage for the coil, or try to find a n original replacement.
Does anyone have a junked 32V chassis with a relay, or a pull from a junked
unit, or maybe a NOS spare...
Any leads are welcome.

TIA,
