Relay jig

This jukebox is going to drive me nuts. There are 24v relays and I suspect one or more being bad. I have extras, but after that they get real expensive. I've delicately cleaned them all. When I swap them around I get different results, ones I thought were bad work in other spots. In one Google search I came across a post where a guy built a jig to test them. That's all the info, no pics or anything. I have an extra control panel I could canablize a socket out of. That's where my big idea hits a wall. How would I supply 24v to the relay? Anyone have any tips or thoughts?

Two Duracell A23 batteries or similar in series.  I assume this relays do not eat too much current.  I think thy are $1.50 ea.

A toy train transformer might work.  It will likely need to be for HO scale to assure it is DC.  Most Lionel and American Flyer units are AC

Low voltage led lighting is 24v. Do a quick search on amazon to start and you'll find a good range of options.

Thanks! I do have a Tyco HO set that just went back in the attic a month ago. I believe I've got some outdoor light transformers in the garage as well. If not, I'll be picking up some batteries.
