Good Evening,
When rebuilding the SB-610s, I have been replacing the two old Selenium Rectifiers
with two strings each of the 1N4007G-B Diodes which are Vr/1000 Io/1A
as desginated by Mouser Electronics under their part number 583-1N4007G-B.
Now i have come across couple bad diodes in the the power supply section
coming off the power transformer that are identified as D1, D2, D3, & D4 in the schematic.
Appears the voltage is 215VAC off the transformer winding but either 500 or 600 vac/s
on the other side of the diodes D3 & D4.
Any problems in replacing all four D1 to D4 diodes with the same 1N4007 diodes
or would you go higher voltage & if so....;.. suggestions please ?
Thanks & have a Happy New Years.
73s
Carl, k4zrd
