Title: 1n34a alternative for EgoDriver
Post by: fleeps on July 12, 2011, 07:55:55 AM
Hi all,

Would any of these work as a replacement for the 1n34a germanium diodes in MadBeans EgoDriver?

I know I can find the 1n34a's elsewhere on the internet but I live near a Maplin and I'm itching to get this finished!

OA90s are germanium so they'd work, but that's a terrible price for them.

Lol, yeah I know!
I usually avoid Maplin but I'm itching to get this project done

Thanks CynicalMan

Ahem (http://diystompboxes.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=6)...  Just got some myself (and I live in Brazil).

1N60's are an alternative for 1N34a's in a pinch.

Thanks for the info.
I'll be sure to buy a bunch from the store in the future.  Maplin is literally around the corner from me so I popped in and picked up a OA90 earlier today!
