  I have a 87A that has a slightly different problem.  When plugged in, but 
turned off, occasionally a relay starts to chatter randomly.  It goes on for a 
few seconds and then stops until the next time.  Any ideas of what that could 
be?

    I suppose in the case of my 76A it could be "sticky" contacts, since it
    only does it when warm after usage, and then only sometimes.

    Carl, you wouldn't happen to know of a good replacement off the top of
    your head, would you?

    Thanks,
