The relay controller circuit in a pre-amp stopped working properly
R110 and C113 form a power-on reset.  You can scope N125 pins 8 and 10 to confirm that IC112 is being initialized correctly.  Next, scope IC112 pins 9 and 7 to see if there are square waves there.  If all of that is ok, the problem probably is N117, the relay driver.

I've done a version of this circuit many times.  After reset, the CD4060 counts up until a particular pin goes high.  That pin is connected through a diode to the 4060's oscillator, causing it to freeze.  In this case, the 4060 waits for 512 counts after reset, which calculates out to something under 37 seconds.  Then pin 15 goes high, which freezes the counter and energizes relay G.  If G is on immediately, then:

a) G's contacts are welded closed.
b) G's driver has failed short.
c) the 4060 output is stuck high for some reason.
