Subject: Re: Replacement Diode
According to http://so-much-stuff.com/pdp8/repair/subst.php a D672
crosses to a 1N3656 diode, which you can (theoretically) get from
amazon.com (or your local flavor thereof)
I would resist the urge to plug something that looks similiar in to see
what
happens. You run the risk of damaging something else.

Thanks for the link, that is really useful, I had not come across it before.
Actually, it shows the 672 to be either a 1N3653 or a 1N3656. I can find
more info on the 3653 than the 3656. The 3653 appears to have a spec
equivalent to or better than what it lists in the parts list.
Now it seems I have to find the modern equivalent of those diodes. A 1N4149
seems to fit the bill, does that seem reasonable? Here is Farnell's
