Do you know how to measure your V2 voltages?

They should be around...
Pin1  191V
Pin3  1.8V
Pin6  195V
Pin8  1.7V

If you're not sure how to do that... take your amp to the tech.

You need to rewire the relay in order to play without one... I don't thik that's worth it. Better to wait until you get a new one.
