CR408 is a 1A 400V diode (1n4006 should do)
Is there any reaosn not to use a 1N4007 here as well? I generally don't
buy the other IN400x's as I've yet to find an application where too high
a PIV is a problem.

That is true but I gave him the spec for the diode that was there.
As is the 4006 is a 600V device.
Sure... But it 1-off quantities there's little, if any, difference in the
price between the 1N4006 and 1N4007, and it's simpler to always get the
higher voltage part.
Hey around here anytime I need a 1A diode it's a 1N4007 as I buy
them 100 at a time cheap. They make good varactors an passable
HF low VHF PIN diodes.
Indeed.
