Glow Plug Relay Sound

I've seen someone provide excellent examples of their old worn starter and their replacement starter. I was wondering if anyone has any videos showing a good GPR and one that is going?

the only way i know of to test the GPR is if it is passing power through when activated, it is good.

Thanks. I thought I had read something about a fast clicking being bad/GPR on its way out.

fast clicking after the wait to start light goes out means the controller is doing "after burn" this turn the plugs on/off to help keep the glow plugs hot to aid in keeping the engine running for the first minute or so.
