Well the diode has bias voltage but the meter mult-switch only works on plate voltage.other contacts are toast, is this a suitable eBay replacement for voltage current and relative power out?

Thanks redhat,
I will reinstall zener and key amp and measure voltage drop, changeover relay is an obvious replacement and probably burned  contacts.

Working on GLA 1000 amplifier, has no idle current.
Tested bias Zener with dmm. on ohms scale.
5.6 Meg ohms one way, infinite w/ leads reversed.
Good or bad...?

Thanks
