Apparently diode part number 56-24 which is a 1N458 diode has gone south on
my Sb-200.  Was wondering if someone could tell me what this part  does.  
What
can be subbed for it?  Or do I have to get the exact  diode?  Any help
appreciated.  Thanks 73  Lou


Lou,

Are you seriouis?  You must immediately dispose of this amplifier! Send it 
to me and I will get rid of it for you. If you can diagnose that it's bad I 
can't believe you don't know what it does. Seriously, there is no diode made 
any longer that will work so best get rid of it now. Pack the tubes in a 
seperate box and sent the whole mess to me along with the Dentron.
