One last thing is speed ( forgot what they called it ).
If you use a common 3A 1KV rectifier as a scan rectifier it will
blow within a few hrs because it overheats. Cant take the higher
freq. Same goes for in switching supplies.
IIRC boost diodes didnt test like a common diode ? I do remember
they rarely went bad.

The second diode looks like a common 1N4007 should be a sub for it.
In most tube circuits the important specs for the replacement diode to match or exceed are PIV (peak inverse voltage) and average forward current. The rest usually makes little difference.
