You might be able to buy replacements from MFJ.  They're a custom design 
with what they call "Form X" contact style, built on a DPDT frame, with 
the two moving contacts barred together, so it's really more of a SPDT 
functionally.
(Technically that's a Form Z contact.. A Form X is a SPST with two sets 
of contacts in series.)

There's a ton of info in the TT archives on relay models and testing.
