an HDX-555 from a ham's widow and have had a problem with the time delay
relays that control the motor drive. I wish to replace the two plug-in
relays in the control box and have substitutes on hand but am not certain
what the settings should be. The range is .1 to 10 seconds. Does anyone
know
what settings I should select and if so, should they be the same in both
relays or different from the left to the right one as I face the box?

I don't know what the factory settings are - probably a bunch of delay
to keep "amateur" owners out of trouble. Set them anywhere you want; I'd
suggest a long delay and then turning it down until you have a delay you can
live with. It's really a safety feature to keep fingers, etc. out of
harm's way when you hit the switch.
