Did anyone mention a polar relay like the 255a commonly used on 
teletype equipment?  Would work with some bias current on one coil 
and a shunt resistor across the other coil to work in a 60 ma or 20 
ma loop. As these relays are vintage, teletype friendly and plentiful 
one should fit in nicely with tube era equipment.
