Roger,

 From the start point, I caution those whom remove the relay to * NOT * 
putz around with the "neon" static discharge "bulb".

The bloody thing IS soldered in!!  WE, the well meaning types trying to 
resolve ONE problem, sometimes CREATE another "costly" one!!

Yep!  Found out the "hard" way!
