Thanks to all for the help and advice.  For the info of all, the relay in 
this VI+ was sealed, so no opportunity for previous owners to "wedge" 
contacts.  C8 (.01 capacitor) was shorted.  Replacing it solved the n.o. 
contact that was shorted.  Still won't key (using the trusty old ohmmeter, 
not the amp) and I'm not brave enough to go further with surface mount 
transistors, hi.  I was brave enough to take the surface mount C8 off the 
board and replace with a small discrete component, but that transistor looks 
AWFULLY small, hi.  I'll contact Paul and go from there.  Again, thanks to 
all for suggestions to try.
73,
Don, WB5HAK
