Had my dummy load connected, through the antenna switch, to my 160 meter 
vertical array. Took a summertime, near lightening strike. One of the items 
damaged was the B&W model 374 Dummy load- Wattmeter. Found the internal diode 
blown. Used a general silicon RF diode replacement and found it is not giving 
the voltage needed to calibrate the meter. This replacement took much of a day 
due to the oil filled chamber, so do not want to just try other diodes. Does 
anyone know the manufacturers exact diode number?
Thank you in advance for any help.
