What's the osc tube, a 6CG7 or 8CG7? Sams has various similar chassis in sets 515, 518 and 566 - the osc tube will dictate which sams to use.
I'll have to discharge the HV to get a look inside again....all the tubes are mounted on the INSIDE of the board, facing the picture tube. Gonna be doing that shortly. I remember seeing those diodes, so I know exactly which ones they are. Connected common cathode.

The diodes I have here are 1N4001, 1N4005, 1N538 H8, and these:

Would any of these be suitable?
