Wonder if these will be any good. Looks like retail will be between $60-70, no MAP pricing as of yet.
I'm still buying NOS Bendix 6106 for less than that, so unless these are somehow better....

Do not limit yourself to what others think is reasonable or possible.

This is exactly why I like TV damper diodes. They can handle quite a bit of current and a LOT of voltage, are only available as NOS, and yet are dirt cheap! Yay for unpopular TV tubes!
