I would trace out the circuitry. If you have that, then the type of diode may be obvious. For example if a diode is across a relay coil to eliminate transcients, then any ordinary diode will work. For a circuit for a desolder station, I would expect all the diode would be common diodes, no zeners, no fast switching, no germanium. Just something like a 1N4004.
