    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi Mr. ac-dc1989,

It should be fairly easy to find a replacement diode at a local electronics store. I mean a "real" electronics store, not Radio Shack. Even if they don't have the actual part, they can usually be cross-referenced to find something that will work. I don't know what part of the world you are in, but around here we have stores like Or-Vac or Mar-Vac, and others that have bins full of semiconductor bits. If you can't find it where you are, let me know, I'll try to find it here and mail it to you.

Anyway, I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
