PRODUCT IS FINE.
BUT, FOR THOSE THAT DO NOT KNOW, IN TUBE AMPLIFIERS THESE RECTIFIERS APPLY B+
TO THE POWER TUBES BEFORE THE TUBES HAVE WARMED UP THAT MAY DAMAGE THE TUBES OVER
TIME.
Lost the 5AR4 in my old Dynascan B-12 Precision Regulated Power Supply (variable) I use for testing tube circuits. Ordered this solid state rectifier (SSR) replacement, and it worked exactly like the real thing. Be advised, though, that if your filaments are series, you might have a problem replacing the 5AR4 with this, since it has no filament to slightly alter the series filament voltage for all the other filaments. My unit's transformer fortunately had separate 6.3 VAC windings for every tube, so the absence of a filament in the SSR had no affect on any of the other tubes.
