[TenTec] 1208 Transverter

[David Cuttler]

Again, I want to thank everyone for their input. I learned a lot, and I am sure that anyone else lurking in the backround has too.
 
This is what I plan to do. I will unsolder the two diodes, and solder in segments cut from a DIP socket. The kind with the nice round machined pins. I will then have sockets so I will never need to work on the board with a soldering iron again. This will allow me to try different diodes as plugins. If I should fry some, all, I will need to do is remove the cover, and plug in two more. 
 
I could tape a small plastic bag with replacements inside the cover.
 
Any comments?
