Default Re: Philips N4450

I see no reason why a higher rating bridge rec cannot be fitted. It was probably only for ease of fitting that the extra BY164's were suggested. If a bigger rectifier(s) were fitted, it may have been a major job. As it stood, the mods took about 15 - 20 minutes to implement.

I'm quite sure suitable modern recs can be fitted...even separate diodes wired in bridge mode. There's no restriction on 'approved parts only' being fitted nowadays!
