Thanks a bunch. I did get a cross reference to a TO-220 rectifier, but since I couldn't find any specs on the original, I had no idea if it would be compatible. Where'd you find the specs so I know of other resources to search for future projects if needed?
Just so I'm sure, the 2 different links are for the 10DC-2 AND 10DC-2R correct? Also, the link to newark.com came up with heat sinks, insulators, etc. I'll assume that these are required also...it's not a complete package by itsself? The reason I ask is that the originals are snadwiched in between ceramic caps and I'm not sure how much room I'll have to play with for heat sinks, etc.
Do you think the earlier issue I was having with the Operation switch and "sizzling bacon" was a result of this rectifier going out or the other way around? Not sure if I have to troubleshoot anything further before putting the new rectifiers in. The 3.9ohm resistor connected to the one leg of the diode went up in smoke when I powered up, but that's the only thing affected afaik. The others check fine.
