Does anyone know the specs of the original parts? Or are the tolerances of
the ECG/NTE/SK replacements good enough to use without apprehension? I've
had very bad luck with generic replacements in some equipment I've worked
on, while most circuits take well to the replacements (ie ECG123).
Microsemi has a great part-matching service if we know the original part
specs. Also, they may have diodes with better current handling capacity.
If the generic replacements are good enough, that'd be great too.
