Thanks to all that responded. I found a 2.7 megohm (R448) in the bias
feed to the delay tube V403 in the modulator that had aged way out of
tolerance . I know what does the modulator have to do with TR
switching --beats me but that where V403 a 12AT7 is because half is used as
a sidetone amplifier and the other half is the delay tube. Anyway I
put another resistor in paralled with R448 and now the bias can charge up
the 4 uF cap C424 and provide cutoff of the tube in a timely manner.
So went from a 4.5 second TR delay to about 1.2 seconds which is close
enough for government work and still allows the other zillion relays in the
T-195 to switch over in sequence.
