[Hallicrafters] Solid State Rectifier Replacements

[Craig Roberts]

Peter Dahl sells them for $7.95 apiece 
(http://pwdahl.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=diodes&cart_id=6436559.23983) 
-- or you can make your own with parts from Mouser (www.mouser.com) and 
Antique Electronics Supply (www.tubesandmore.com).

One web page that contains instructions for making them is here: 
http://users2.ev1.net/~wb7dyw/516F.htm . I don't know what rig you're 
intending to us e these devices in, but beware of the fact that solid 
state rectifiers, without dropping resistors and possibly a relay delay, 
can give you some damaging overvoltages and initial surge currents.

There's another (much more elegant) version of these things, too. 
They're called Weber Copper Caps (http://www.webervst.com/ccap.html).
