Possible candidate for Klon Centaur diodes?
Everything I have been reading says the original “magical” germanium diodes in the Klon Centaur have a forward voltage of 0.35v. Going through my old stock of diodes all I found was 0.65v germanium diodes until I ran across the above pictured. They were consistantly giving reading of 0.34v which I think is the closest I can get from my stock. I have no idea what part number they are since there is no markings other than the Black, Yellow Orange bands.
From my Peak Atlas DCA Pro:
Test Result:
Diode junction
Red-A Green-K
Vf=0.343V at 5.00mA
Back to my build.
