Actually, the removed one had the gray housing and the diode was a 1N4003 which equates to a 300V, 1 amp. That would have been the newer type. I removed the diode from the case and installed a new diode. I went with a 1N4004 which is 400V, 1 amp. Seems the diode is still intact though that is only based on a visual inspection after running through my (field) tests. Had to finish those without daylight.

My printout of the schematics (so far) have been less than optimal. I need to find more on the CD and try some different printer settings to see what is what. No matter, this is stretching my capabilities beyond my limited experience. I can follow directions . . .
Any leads and/or suggestions (short of taking it to a shop) would be appreciated.
Steve
