    What is the UK numbering for a 5Z3 rectifier valve?

    Also where can I get one at a reasonable price? eBay want £10 plus postage.

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    > What is the UK numbering for a 5Z3 rectifier valve?

    5Z3 is a chinese rectifier most close to a 5U4. A lot of possible substitutions exist, my personal preference for lower current duties tends to be the Mullard GZ32.

    You can get Valve Data from www.duncanamps.com -> TDSL and get equivalents and near equivalents listed.

    That is actually reasonable.

    Ciao T
