[ICOM] relay in IC-761

Randy, if I already answered, please forgive me, it's been one of those weeks!
You are NOT exaggerating the sensitivity of the problem. I tried 'lightly' tapping around the radio trying to locate the general area that was problematic.
If I had not experienced the 'flea jumping sensitivity' of this problem first hand, I would NOT have believed it.... ha ha
I am now going through the SAME type of problem on several Green Laser sights mounted on different rifles. MADDNING!!!!

Ron, Al, which relay are you referencing,?  the one on the top of the autotuner 
oard ( I think mine are green/white) or the one on the small board next to the 
o-239 out (I think it's white )?
and confirming that when it's active , this is an annoying little pest of an 
ntermittent problem, and seems like the weight of a pet flea jumping on the rig 
akes it go away.. unbelievable when it occurs..
I found the relay number with stock listed at odysseyelectronics.net but I 
annot load the order page on my "superb" dial-up.

Al, these relays are a commom problem. My 761 developed the intermittant issue 
ast year. Icom tech says to replace it. I took it apart and used a small strip 
f business card with DeOxit 5 on it. It has worked perfectly for over a 
ear.....
 have never seen a relay SO sensitive to "lightly" tapping the radio, to have 
t kick in on out.

t sounds as if the relay in my vintage '761 has given up the ghost after
 years.  While it occasionally will work, much of the time it doesn't
em to want to engage properly.  I haven't had a chance to take it apart
d do any measurements but my service manual says the relay is a VS12TBN-E
d I've been having problems finding it on the net.
ny suggestions?
