No, I didn't. I'm going to have to devote a fair amount of time to a careful disassembly with copious notes and it's not something I can commit to right now, so it's reassembled and back on the shelf for the time being. I'm used to HP gear being a bit more user-serviceable, but I guess they did

Thanks Jonathan, In my case height doesn't matter. Regarding the rating I am not clear what the rating of the original part is, I haven't been able to find a datasheet for it, I have seen suggestions for both 20A and 35A, I do know that the H745 regulator is fed 20-30VAC from a transformer.

From my (very stale) memory, FWIW DEC Diagnostic file names were configured thus: First Letter - machine they run on.  ones I remember:  Z=all Unibus, V=LSI-11(18-bit), J=11/73(22-bit) etc.  Strangely, I seem to remember that C represented 11/45, but maybe they changed the scheme at one

I used a Vishay GBPC3506W-E4/51, which is 600V 35A, 400A inrush rated. Looks like they're currently on-order at Mouser, I don't know about other suppliers. The GBPC3506W-E4/51 is a little thinner than the bridge rectifier DEC used originally, which sometimes matters. For the 5411086 board in my

Hmmm this would suggest 200V 20A https://archive.org/stream/bitsavers_decfieldSeeTechnicalManual1972_19126909 8/DEC_Field_Service_Technical_Manual_1972_djvu.txt rather than 35A. Given the 20-30VAC input though, I presume a 50V part would be OK still? > -Original Message- > From: Rob

Sorry it has been a while responding. I have been looking further at my H745 regulators this evening. Below is what I have found and my responses to the various questions. In summary, it looks like the rectifier may be faulty. It is marked NSS3514. I believe it is a 35A part. Can anyone suggest a
