Bob,
If you can identify and access the diodes, you should be able to check them with any DMM having the diode check function. It will show 600 mv for a good diode, and 0 for a bad. Try the polarity of test leads both ways on the diode leads before you say one is open.

Thanks, Stuart.

The big problem is accessing the diodes! Rick, VE7TK, sent me a link to his website and the instructions on how to do the disassembly and I'm beginning to have second thoughts about taking it apart.

It may be the finals and I don't have gear to test them, so I can see it going back to TenTec UK for the repair.....
