[TenTec] Pegasus Relays

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Radios that are stored in unfavorable conditions, and radios which are not powered up and used are prone to small amounts of moisture accumulation.  This is one cause of connector oxidation and poor contact.   Also this contributes to failure of the ceramic filters used in many radios.  As to any liquid accumulation, I find this to be unusual.  Typical of condensation is equipment being moved from temperature extremes.   Not good.

It's very unusual for a liquid to be accumulating on the case of a relay.  Does it look like water? or something else?  Any idea where it may be coming from?

I'm not getting any output on some bands and while I have not pinpointed the problem, I'd like to know if I can replace relays if that's the problem.
