[AMPS] Improvements to L-4B PS?

I am interested more in increased reliability than in increased output.
For example, would 1N5408's be a good replacement for the original diodes,
etc?

I have obtained an Ameritron QSK-5 in the hope of satisfying this
particular need.

Thanks for the comments.  They're appreciated.

73, Dick
