5R4 and 5U4 solid state replacement on an Apache or Marauder

[Heinz Breuer]

What I don't understand with the P.W.Dahl mod kit is, that it uses a 
1N5408, a 1000V/3A diode for the bias rectifier. A 1N4007 would be more 
than sufficient.

I just ordered the parts from Mouser Electronics and would like to have a second opinion from de Heathkiters................Pat PS it seems to me that just the heat elimination and power load on the power transformer filament portion is a plus.
