Sony TA-F550ES 1990s Hifi Amplifier Repair

I'm repairing a Sony TA-F550ES amplifier from the early 90s that had some intermittent sound issues.

TA-F550ES Service Manual:
https://elektrotanya.com/sony_ta-f550es.pdf/download.html

I replaced the original Omron G5R-2232P protection relays with the currently available equivalent Omron G2RG-2A4 24VDC type which can be purchased from many electronics parts stores.
