I wish to thank everyone for their input on my diode problem. Just wanted to let everyone know that they arrived from Mouser yesterday afternoon (Tuesday) This was a pleasant surprise to me since I'd checked the tracking number the night before and it said they would arrive Wednesday! Rather strange that UPS got that wrong. I hadn't relished removing the diode board from the amp., with all the taking it apart to do to be able to remove it. So I removed all the old diodes, drilled out the holes a bit to accommodate the larger lead size and mounted the new ones on the bottom of the board or up-side down as I figured they won't know if someone doesn't tell them. I had checked the filter caps and the tubes earlier while waiting for the UPS guy to show and there wasn't any problems indicated with them.
Put it back together and it is back working fine:)
It is nice knowing it is ready for when a P5 shows....
73,
