[Boatanchors] COLLINS KWS 1 power supply questions

[Glen Zook]

I would remove both of the filament connections to the rectifiers.  This removes the B+ from those windings which can cause problems in the power transformer.

I finished rebuilding the power supply on my new KWS 1.  I have a couple of questions for the group:

Is there a substitute for the HV fuse in the 2 kvdc line? Is the original still being manufactured?
 
I'm going to use solid state plug in diodes instead of the 866A's.  Do I need to disconnect the filament supply to the 866A sockets?
