Re: Big boomer Kris
I believe they are suppose to be 2A 1KV diodes, that is if it hasn't been messed with over the years, make sure they are installed in the right direction from the standby switch. Does have one driver (6JG6) and three finals (6LQ6's)?

I swapped the HER108's out to 1N4006's and it does not short out on change to standby now
The 1n4006 is rated Peak Surge Current 50A her108 35A might of been the difference
