Never tried it, but I can't see why it shouldn't work. You'ld have to
watch the h-k volts, as usual. Also bear in mind that this is rated as a
damper diode, i.e. sharp spikes at high frequency. I suspect that you
would need to derate it as a rectifier - down to just below anode glowing
point at a guess... ;-)

Get 4 and try it... :)

If you want some anode glowing and spitten sparken, try using
two models up, 6AL5GT. There are plenty of these available
NOS, probably because they have very limited applications. :-)
