** Which old amp ? You only find 4007s in tube gear.

Think I have seen glass versions somewhere, in an old amp from Japan.

They're in a Leslie 122RV amp. They must not be original.


And they are open or noisy?

According to the Leslie docs those are 525-212 diodes. That would have
been an 800V diode from RCA, I think. Not exactly a 1N4007, but it would
be reasonable to replace them with 1N4007s which will be more rugged.

Looks like the highest voltage thing I see in any glass package today
is the BAV21 at 250V.
