Relatively inexpensive?  Not that I've seen, but maybe it depends on what 
you consider inexpensive. Even used at hamfests, more like $100 and up. 
Surplus Sales of Nebraska has RJ-1As for $110.... but the mounting nut is 
only $3 ... 8^)   Can you recommend an inexpensive source for Jennings 
vacuum relays?
