Think I have seen glass versions somewhere, in an old amp from Japan. .... Phil 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. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
