I picked up a G-7000 receiver last month. All original.

I noticed the first time I started it up that one replay clicks instantaneously upon hitting the power switch and then it takes several seconds for the second replay to click in. (The schematic shows two relays - and inrush relay and a protection relay). Subsequent power-ups had both relays sometimes clicking quickly together and other times the relays click with an normal interval of time between each ones engagement.

I decided to open it up and clean it off. I recapped the power supply board last night and the driver board ...same issue!

Bottom line is that the protection relay is closing too early!! What would cause the protection relay to close TOO quickly?

Thanks for any advice!!
