VDR601? Some techs say always replace it so maybe you did but it's easy to check. Remove it and read it's ohms, should be infinity, anything less and it's bad. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.

I even tried making heat sinks with no luck there. YES i am using generic C4834's but can get away with it most of the time without thermal probs. Have tried both P's and M versions. any advise or maybe a pws part # if it is still available, Not listed on tritronix model part list. could use the SM if someone wants to Email it to me. thanks much Tony Saracco TCS ELECTRONICS Elgin , IL 60120 847-695-1928 tcselectronics@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx **************************************************************************** * Classifieds!
