**I'll bet they weren't decent, hermetically sealed, gold contact types,
nor were they used to short the signal to earth. If such relays are used
in that type of application, they almost never exhibit problems.
Whenever I see a product with those clear topped, non-sealed DIL relays,
I know exactly what needs to be done. When the relay is replaced with a
proper one, I never see the job back. There are relays and there are
decent quality relays.

I can't remember the exact spec of them - and they certainly did much more
than simply short to ground. They configured the console for track laying,
overdub or mixdown.
