Looking for a replacement relays for phono stage switching on a Sony TA-F7. The original relays are KGS branded model 21124. They look like there 24v. I'm looking at replacing with Panasonic AGQ20024, physically smaller but only switching the signal on and off.
Any thoughts?

It is marked as a two pole relay, which is common, Omron should be available.
See in schematic for relay voltage, some makers say their coils work 3-28 volts.
Better put two pole, single pole won't stop back voltages to and from whatever is connected.

Reed relays would be sealed against atmospheric degradation, so would not affect the tiny phono stage signal.
Clever idea, if true.
KGS relays does not turn up much, so I feel that maker is closed or taken over.

Height is an issue as the kgs relays are relatively flat at 7mm
Here's the product page for the Panasonic relay, it is a dpdt relay, sutible?
