Except that without the [newer-type] control relay, no likely combination
of events will result in the light blinking that does not also peg the
gauge.  So the overwhelming likelihood is that it's the gauge -- especially
in humid weather.  It *could* be an intermittent ground, but I doubt
it.  Ah! -- it could be an intermittent problem with the +10v supply to the
gauge, or the gauge ground.  I still bet it's the gauge.  Mine right now
after a humid week blinks for quite a while until the heat from the working
element dries out the circuit board.
