[Milsurplus] Copper oxide rectifiers

[C.Whitaker]

Wayne,
 From reading the replies you are getting, I decided to not replace (update)
the copper-oxide bridge rectifier  which is in a 24 Volt DC supply someone
had built a long time ago for the little LF receiver I came into.
I was going to use contemporary diodes.  Now I'll leave it alone.
I did replace the big capacitor, although it tests OK.
