McIntosh part 070-031 question

[Deezel]

Working on a ma6100, need part number 070-031. McIntosh says its 1n4820, which is obsolete. Will a 1n5395 be a good replacement? Also what's the difference in 1n5395 and 1n5395gp? Thanks for any help.

If you are asking about D409 or 410, It is a pretty generic diode doing some basic house cleaning upon amp shutdown....can't say I have ever seen one fail.

In5395 has worked for others but i have never had to use one.

Is your number a NTE number or did you get it from Gregory's post?

Yes it is d409

Yes it is d409 412. Actually I called McIntosh, and the printed part in their books was 1n4820 which is obsolete. He said someone one had penciled in 1n5395. He didn't have a definite answer, so I ask you good people here. Also I've read a couple things about ma6100 ground issues because of galvanic corrosion, I will be attacking this as well while I wait on parts. If you have anything to share of interest on the subject, I am all ears. I am 20 years rusty, but want to do this right. After parts replaced, I'll have to borrow an oscilloscopeto check and adjust waves exc....

I suppose you are working on 044-585 pcb and not on 044-480 pcb
