[Johnson] 866A catastrophic failures?

Wed, 08 Jan 2003 20:49:04 -0500

For blue glow, hook up a pair of blue Christmas lights in parallel with the
primary of the HV power transformer and position appropriately next to the
solid-state rectifiers (snicker).  To really jazz your BA friends, use the
kind that blink on and off (LARGE snicker).

Gentlemen, It has always been a policy of mine to replace a.s.a.p.  the 866A
with 3B28's. I find less trouble with them. I find them must more dependable
and they don't explode. This was my experience.
I know that some BOATANCHOR fanatics like that nice purple glow. But for
Johnson Valiant I prefer the Xenon rectifiers over any solid stating.
The 3B28's can be almost be put into service immediately without blowing a
fuse, where the 866A'S cannot.
