Yep! They make direct replacements for both Kilovac and Jennings, both
of which have been used by Ten Tec in their power amps. I've taken
advantage of it to replace worn out relays in my Ten Tec power amps.
(QSK in a contest puts a lot of cycles on that relay). Gigavac has been
great to deal with.
At a hamfest a year or so ago, I noted that the Alpha amp that was open
on display used a Gigavac relay, and I asked an engineer in the booth
about it. They replied that they were quite happy with them and had had
great reliability.
