I have tried to work with 4 Star Electronics. They only want to deal with large quantity orders. I would be interested to hear if anyone has had better luck. David N1HAC

Bob's idea of trying a power-supply rectifier sounds interesting, though. Failing that, an NTE replacement part for AM radio tuning might work, perhaps in a different series/parallel combination. Just curious, what was the 5065A acting like with the bad diode? Mine seems to run quietly for days at a time, but then occasionally it generates excess low-level random noise for a period of hours to days (see image). Every time I've tried to get serious about tracking the problem down, it stops misbehaving. Did yours look like this? It's especially annoying now that I finally sprung for a second 5065A, which seems to behave almost identically... -- john Miles Design LLC _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [2]time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to [3]https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
