Default Help finding equivalent diodes needed

I've an HP 8558B Spectrum Analyser with dud diodes in its first mixer (one
shows 0.33v forward, high resistance reverse, the other 11 ohms either way
around)

The official part 08558-20095 and its replacement 08558-60152 have long
become obsolete. Can anyone suggest a substitute? The application is in a
low power balanced mixer mixing input signals in the range 0 to 1500MHz with
a Local Oscillator tuning from 2050MHz to 3550MHz to produce a signal
passing through a 5000MHz low-pass filter to a 2050MHz bandpass filter. The
present diodes are small glass wire-ended diodes about 4mm long and about
1mm diameter.

Many thanks in advance.

John
