Hi Gerhard, The IN4007 is available worldwide, so should be available in Germany. In the UK they are widely retailed at 6 to 15 cents in Euros. Not come across the UF4007 before though possibly a Seimens or similar branding of the same item? The correct item for D36 I believe is HP PIN di

It seems that I have a TX problem too. Just to prevent removing D36 for nothing because it's fragile, could someone give a result that I should read on my DMM when D36 is working properly ??? Le 04-06-24, à 13:59, Don Wilhelm a écrit : Gerhardt, Yes, I too would believe D36 is broken - it is

Gerhardt, Yes, I too would believe D36 is broken - it is quite fragile and will crack if the leads are bent too close to the glass body - HANDLE WITH CARE. You can temporarily substitute a 1N4007 diode until you can obtain a replacement (the 1N4007 was used in the D36 location until the keying wa
