video detector diode: another one of those 'never goes bad' parts that do. i have been down that road a few times, i had one set that acted like the alignment was off, seemed like the fine tuning was always off. turned out to be a leaky detector.

i got some 1n60p diodes i want to try as a video detector. its a schottky equivalent of the 1n60 germanium. probably wont work because the capacitance is much higher, 1n60 is like .6pf and 1n60p is 60pf. the schottky shouldn't have the organic failure thing the ge diodes do.
