Hi,

I was caught up in the moment and snagged the diode from my VTTC to use it 
on a voltage multiplier.  Well the multiplier killed at least one of my 
diodes(multiplier doesnt work), and i dont know which one.  I want to put 
the good one back on the tube coil but i dont know how to test the diodes.  
Does anyone know how?  I have a basic multimeter(VOM).  I think that someone 
posted something awhile ago about this.  Oh, and its a microwave oven diode. 
  Thanks

Steve Ward
