Just what I had in the drawers - not a good reason ???

Tom, I won't blame you because you are defending your baby... it is a
normal "mother" reaction...
I am just trying to understand what happenned during the first "bang",
why the replacement of 5 deffective diodes was unsufficient to solve
the problem, and why 5 other blew up while "loosely" connected to the
capacitors !
The rest I don' t care... the AL1500 is already a hit in terms of
commercial success, and it seem to have a large majority of satisfied
user, I am just trying to find a solution (faster than the 4 monthes
announced by one EU-distributor I contacted to get the 2 boards
complete from Ameritron ).
That's all...
Patrick
