Default Re: Cutout sticking

Not for the sake of disagreement but I have had no problems with Brattons or Snyders diodes that I have installed in junk cut outs. Neither has ever overheated or drained the battery. At times I have let my 31 tudor sit for two months and it would crank right up. The repro diode cut outs are pretty outrageously priced when you consider that you can buy the diode for a few dollars and install it yourself. All that I used was an electric soldering gun and a small amount of rosin core solder. I don't trust the original eighty something year old cut out and the repro cut outs may not work, right out of the box.
