HI,
Is this a 'real' 1N34A and not a Schottky or something else. Reason I ask is there are a lot of fakes out there in the marketplace.
Thanks Phil (KO6BB)

Hi, this is a genuine 1N34A and not a Schottky diode. We do not and will not sell fake parts in any form.

We would provide several shipping options when placing an order, and to get an idea of pricing, you can add the desired items to your cart and proceed to checkout. Once you have entered all of your shipping information, you will then be given shipping options to choose from. You can do this simply for pricing information, or you can proceed from there to place your order.

Wow! Just like my crystal radio of my youth. This diode worked
great in the radio circuit and it sure took me back! Great product and I'm happy I coud find this item on your online store. Thanks!
