John, thanks for the reply. With your information, I looked up the AK03 on the net and in the NTE replacement guide and they both claim the diode to be a fast switching Schottky Barrier diode, NTE585. I will order this part and try it. Gary McCartney McCartney Electronics Guelph Ontario Canada Est. 1984 email: gary (at) number63.ca John at Main TV wrote: > > That PS is used in Panas.
