Re: [TCML] Old HV diode H-386 by Varo

[DC Cox <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

These were rated around 20 kV at 50 mA.  I used these in a string to charge
Van de Graaff belts.  Presently we have upgraded to a more modern version.
They were very reliable in operation.  Varo also made some rated for 60 kV
which they used in X-ray multipliers.
