[Johnson] 866A Solid State Replacements

[David C. Hallam]

Using solid state rectifiers should have little effect on the voltage.
Unlike vacuum rectifiers, 5R4's and the like, there is little voltage drop
in a mercury vapor rectifier such as the 866A.  I am using solid state
rectifiers, 1N2637 (ST-7A), in my Invader 2000 and see little change in the
HV.

However, I have no experience with the Taylor 866A supplied replacements.
