Wilkinson Electronics Rectifier Stacks

[W2XR]

Guys,

I have a pair of Wilkinson Electronics silicon rectifier stacks that were used to replace 8008 mercury rectifier tubes, as well as a pair of Wilkinson stacks that replaced a pair of 575A mercury rectifier tubes. My guess is the electrical specs are the same for both types, with the only difference being in the basing arrangement. I pulled these out of old Gates AM BC transmitters a number of years ago.

Does anyone know the PIV, average current, and surge current rating for these stacks?? I can't seem to find anything about Wilkinson on the web, and the company went out of business years ago.

Also, does anyone know the part number for the individual silicon rectifiers used in these stacks, in the event that I ever need to replace them, etc??? They don't look like your typical 1N4007 type.

Any help here would be appreciated!!!

Thanks & 73,
