Re: Amplifone HV diodes??

Has anyone tried my suggestion of finding some old B&W or Amber monitors
and taking them apart for the HV diode? Some of them (the earlier ones)
should have a similar construction to these monitors, also hybrid B&W TV's
(Tubes and transistors) would probably have this diode. Check your local
Salvation Army...
