In response to those who asked, here's what happened:
Hooked up the 12 v to the OHR-100 backwards (+ vs -). The inline fuse
and the protective diode across the incoming power died to save the rig,
and I definitely want to replace them before doing much else.
Put out the call for assistance on the list, and the vast majority of
responses said that replacing the 1N0007 with a 1N0003 will work fine.
The max forward voltages are the same (1 amp), and even though the
forward breakdown voltage is 200v (vs 700+ v on the 7), the 3 will
protect the rig from my stewpidity in the future. Even a 1N0001 would
work, since it is rated at 50v.
Like a wise man once said, "Ignorance we can fix, stupidity we can't do
a dang thing about." And it's amazing what you can learn when you ask,
ain't it?
Again, thanks.
