Tonight I used a better meter and got some odd results. The old diode measures 10 meg ohm one direction and about 5 or 6 meg the other direction. The real weird thing is the old diode seems to have a capacitor like effect on the meter, only backwards. The scale actually counts down if you hold the leads on it for a minute.
The new diode measures a rock solid 250K one way and infinity the other. I smell trouble with those high and erratic readings with that old diode. I have always heard that a rectifier diode should pass virtually no current one direction. My readings are far from that.
As far as my new diode being correct the package mentions that the diode replaces ECG116, GE-504A, And SK3313.
The non polarized cap I mentioned looks like it says C25. Getting the c25 was probably dumb as far as WHERE it is on the schematic. I mean it is across two relays and eventually goes into the motor socket. Obviously something to do with the channel select signal process. I bought it mainly because I wanted to replace all of the electrolytics and that diode on hope that something might come of it. There are only 3 or so other electrolytics that I already have in stock.
