The name 'Transiton' was rattling around in the back of my head - thanks for
the suggestion - I think your spelling is more on the mark.
I think the question of 'trashing' them is probably more a question whether
anyone wants to pay shipping costs! If you build a PS around them, where the
heck would you buy a replacement if you needed one? For me, I don't need them.
So leave here - that is a given! How is the question. Maybe I package them
with the other remanents from the tear down and just sell the whole thing in
one glorious 'surprise box'!

Why trash them? They're probably still good.
I don't know the ratings. "ts" may be "Transitron Semiconductor," who was one
of many companies making similar HV rectifier assemblies back then.

Subject: [Amps] Question about large solid-state HV rectifier - ratings

Finally tearing down the old homebrew KW amplifiers I bought a good many years
ago. This has lead to a few '..what the heck is that... and '...maybe I should
just pitch that ....' type of questions. This is the first of a few which I
would like to post to the list for their knowledge and expertise.
The PS (setup for about 6 KV or so) used a bridge rectifier arrangement. The
each rectifier element is a black, cast cylindrical rod about 9" long and about
1-1/8" in diameter. Electrical connections at each end: a screw at the anode
end and a stud at the cathode end. The manufacturer uses a lower case t
followed by an s (i.e. ts) and the only part number is 'TM1-10H-X165' followed
by 'F6'.
This is obviously a early (i.e. 1970s or 1980s) packaged HV, silicon diode
(most likely), rectifier diode.
I would like to:
#1 Know what ratings it might have
#2 Know if they (I have the four) have any value to anyone. Otherwise they
are subject to being pitched.
Thanks for your time!
