Right on target Rodger.  Any idea what beast used these?

Doug,



Those sound like mislabeled 4B32 Xenon rectifiers which  sometimes used to replace 872 MV rectifiers.  They fit your size description.

Subject: [Boatanchors] 3B28 Question



​I've come across a pair of 3B28's that are the size of 810's
and I had to read the label twice to make sure of what I
was looking at.  Most 3B28's that I have are the size of
large 5R4's.  These are huge


Has anyone else seen any this size and have any information
to share on them?

TIA,

Doug W5JV
