Hi



Looking for BD3 Germainium Diode to repair Singer FM-10C comm monitor. Small diode in metal case (gold color). Used as a single mixer diode on front end.


Thanks

Try a 1N34 or any schottky diode.

Maybe won't work well, depending on design of the mixer design, because BD3 is a Backward Diode (a Tunnel Diode with a supressed Ipeak), see

The good news for Colin is, i have some BD3 and i will send him for free.
