Oh my mistake, I thought Paul’s was a K0 for some reason.

Have you started on the Christmas Port early Ken? Wrong model, wrong person (Paul>)!
Any guidance on testing the rectifier?

philward:
Found a post from Mike explaining test process

philward:
Followed Mikes advice as follows (with rectifier completely disconnected)

'Establish which is positive of the rectifier and which is negative.
Using a multimeter on the diode range (or ohms range if there's no diode range)
Put the red meter lead on the negative and test each yellow lead of the rectifier in turn.  Then do the same tests with the black meter lead on the negative.
You should have a reading on all 3 in one direction but no reading the other direction.
Now put the black lead on the positive,  check all 3 yellows .
Do same with the red lead on the positive.
As before,  a reading in one direction but nowt the other direction.'

However, I get a reading (diode range) when putting red meter lead on neg on rectifier AND with black lead on rectifier negative
I get nothing when putting black meter lead on postive or the negative rectifier lead?

Bryanj:
Hey changed cos the spades make better contact and dont melt as easy

That's as it should be.  You're measuring through all six diodes in one go.
