Default Collins 30L1

The rectifier diodes and capacitors will probably need replacement. The
large, axial lead caps used in this, and other amplifiers, are getting
harder to find. I currently use infinitely less expensive "snap in"
capacitors of the required value. For diodes, I use 1N5408, rated at
1000v/3A. The snaps require some creative wiring, but they will fit in, OK.
