Thanks David! I hauled my RF1-U out to use last week for the first time in years and found it had stopped oscillating due to deterioration of the rectifier. I was going to replace it with a silicon job and then found your timely post so I didn't have to mess about finding the best value for the series resistor! Brilliant timing! It's now working well again.
