In case anyone is interested, here's my response back from
the folks at Copper Cap concerning their line of solid state rectifier tube replacements for use in my DX-100.

Hi Ron,

No need to do anything, they are plug and play. The WAL5 actually has less Vdrop than the tube version, so that is a good thing. The WA2 regulates at the same voltage as the OA2, and the WR4 has the same sag and other characteristics 
as the 5R4.
