Yeah. Get a string of 1N5408s or 6A10s to make up the 5.6V you want and
stick them into the place where your 1N4561 was, except turn them around
so that the string is forward biassed. Then stick a few thousand uF
electrolytic cap across the entire string, to improve the dynamic
regulation and you're back in business.
Everybody has that stuff in their junk box.
If ya wanna go a bit more fancy, you can get a small rotary switch and
tap off different diodes to set the ZSAC exactly where you want it, for
the mode you choose to run.

Folks
I need a zener for my 2KD-3. It's a 1N4561. It appears that they are
really hard to find and exorbitantly expensive when you do. Has
anyone found a source for a replacement at a reasonable cost?
Thanks,
Bill
