Quadra 650 transistor casualty
Posted by: elemenoh on 2020-02-08 12:05:59
The battery in this Quadra 650 wreaked a decent amount of havoc, including rotting off one of the nearby transistors at D4. Can someone identify what type it is? Any other tips for restoring the affected area?

Those are diodes. Usually a 1N914 is used around the battery.

If you are not going to put in a battery you can just leave out that diode.
