[MRCA] That be a 6087 a good sub for the 5Y3 ?

[J Mcvey]

 6087 is a direct sub for 5y3GB which has a cathode.
A plain 5y3 or 5y3gt does not have a cathode.
If your radio happens to take the output from pin 8 cathode), then they could be interchangeable, otherwise no..

Nothing is simple...even when it seems like it is!

  Are you sure 5087 is the correct number? I could not find a datasheet for it.

 Good Morning,
I'm working on a RBO receiver we have on the USS Wisconsin. It has two 5087 rectifiers instead of 5Y3's. Is the 5087 a acceptable substitute?
Thanks In Advance,
Bill N3WM
USS Wisconsin BB64
