Replacing a tube HV rectifier tube with a solid state one

[bgadow]

Is there a direct plug-in solid state replacement for a 3A2?

I tried using SS rectifiers on sets with arcing filament windings. They can
be a PIA to change in some sets. I found them very unreliable, failing after a
year or less. Looked around & found some thin & very flexible high KV
wire & never used them again. The one use they still had was to mouse a
set to run for evaluation before putting in the time.

BTW for the beginners the 1-3 volt filament for the HV rectifier is sitting at
the HV level along with the tube, cup, & anode lead. Keep that in mind....
