The best replacement is probably one ordered from Elecraft.  They should 
only charge letter post shipping for something like that.

However, it is a germanium point contact diode.  (Schottky signal diodes 
are almost as good, and I believe that is what is actually used in some 
of the more recent Elecraft designs.)
