Scott- I stand corrected! Make that a 2-3KV 3 amp diode if possible.

Hi Everyone-
I am forwarding this to ask if anyone could help me with the concept of 
replacing the Selenium Rectifier in the HT-37... It is of the little metal 
can type, not the flat stacked plate type. As the reply below says, the 
series resistor will need to be changed as well. I am still useless when 
figuring things beyond the original schematic. Any ideas what value resistor 
I should use, and the best recommendation for a silicon diode?

Thanks!
Scott
