Hi @Markw4 ,
Here is the photo, I know it has 6 pins underneath. I got nothing else unfortunately. DEC use to have the spec sheet in Japanese, but they have removed from their official website. I’m guessing it is because they don’t make it anymore. Is this enough information to find a replacement? I did some research on the web, some people suggested Omron G4W 2212P-US-TV5, but not 100% sure, what do you think? Thank you.

Looks like a 24VDC coil, with contacts rated at 7A at 250VAC. We also need to know the dimensions, the pin spacing, and maybe the diameter of the pins. It may be that Omron G4W-2212P-US-TV5-HP-DC24 would be the same in those regards.

Here (very slow page because cached) a DEC DE2TU-24VDC was replaced with a Panasonic JW2ASN-B-DC24V working flawlessly.

You're correct, my bad. Sorry.
Edit1: In this thread it's shown the Omron G4 W-2212P-US-TV5 as replacement.
Edit2: Here the datasheet for DH2TU.
I's is described as "DH2TU is ideal for audio system protection" and 2 poles, crossbar twin contacts.
"The crossbar twin contacts have two contact points and have the advantage of a crossbar shape, making it suitable for opening and closing microloads."
So it has higher reliability compared to single or twin contact(s) and the same pin spacing.

Wow!!!!!!! Thank you so much @Bill_P for the spec sheet!! Awesome!! How you find it!? This is going to help a lot! So G4W is the replacement? I will try to source it and give it a try. Thank you @ulogon for your helpful input. I was thinking about Panasonic relay initially as well, but couldn’t find anything similar.
Thank you!
I found interesting the following Japanese page, where a DEC DE2TU-24VDC was compared and replaced with a MATSUSHITA JC2aD-DC24V, just for the record.

Edit to add: Please note that the Matsushita relay is still found as new somewhere on the Internet and that it is also considered more reliable and robust by the author, but also costs quite a bit.

It stands for the speakers, so it's a power relay.
JFYI Matsushita brand is actually Panasonic, and many others brand as Technics, National, Quasar, etc.

Hi @pinifinina, on second tought and deepening the subject please note that there is also the possibility that you can clean the contacts of your relays without necessarily having to replace them.

The link above is from the same Japanese author and also explains how to do it (it seems that the cover of DEC relays is easily removable although the relays must be removed from PCB first).
Please note that in this second case the relays are DH2TU, but the way to clean them is the same as for your DE2TU.
Have a nice day!
Edit to add: Just remembered this thread full of useful tips, especially those from @anatech.
