And could be on its last legs at 72 years of age. 

Hi Hoppy,

But it is much younger, only 35 years old because the first number you see as 1 in the 1942 is in fact 7, so it is 7942.  And this means that the first two numbers, 79, represent the last two numbers of the manufacture year i.e. 1979 and the 42 means the week number in that year.

So this reed relay may have many years to live unless Tinsel abuses it which is not likely...   

By the way, Larskro uploaded another video, stating there is no battery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI_EfWRepIQ
