Catwhisker, The ubiquitous "they" say that a Cats whiskers are it's feeler gauge, that it can go thru an opening if it's whiskers will go thru without touching the sides: however, that doesn't take into account the height of the opening, just the width .And if a cat, like the mouse with it's flat bones, rather than round ones, could squeeze thru a quarter inch crack, the world would be overrun with flat cats. As a confirmed procrastinator, I urge you to play a cat and mouse game with that relay. I have several from days of analog and yore. I've never been sure when days of yore started and ended: it may have been before I even arrived on the scene. I would use caution, as cautious as a curious cat, I say, or will say from now on. My motto is "disassemble, but be slow to dispose" I have some relays collected in the late "80's" (the years, not my age.) They were heavy gold plated, so heavy you could cut it with a knife. The contacts were also gold plated. So what did I do with them? Disassembled a couple, threw them in a box, bag or bin with the whole ones, to keep until I figured out the most profitable way to get rid of them. 45 years later, as the cowbird flies, I'm still holding on to them. After all, Chrome wasn't plated in a day.
