Default Re: What is a CSN60?

I've just read part of that explanation on Wikipedia, so now understand better how such a circuit works, Chris. The fact that the circuit runs at a high frequency did cross my mind, but only after I'd fitted the 1n4007. It hasn't been powered up since I replaced the shorted diode, so I'll look for a suitable Schottky rectifier diode, and fit that before I do so. Although I've been involved in Electronics repair for almost 50 years, I've spent most of that time repairing car radios and the like, so have never had much dealings with Schottky devices, and still don't fully understand them, I must admit.
