They will not cost $4.00 it will cost $35.00 an HR plus parts lol just kidding, might more or less depends on materials

Well OP either buys the ones listed earlier in the thread or takes the advice of buying a parts radio and hoping for the best. Just because it doesn’t exactly the same doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not electrically.
Then the jokes started about parts and it was said about making a clone look alike. China parts are cheap that don’t work so I figured $4 was a good price. But we can sell them for much higher prices, that’s what some of the “heros” do.

I have a red dot one! That means it's high Beta, right? I gotta charge extra for that tho, since it can provide extra gain and make the diode conduct better.

There really is not a lot special about this part. It's just a silicon diode in a convenient package used to control the bias as temperature changes. Some manufacturers simply mount a 1N4001 diode right on the output transistor with some heat sink compound. Newer SSB CB radios appear to be using a 1N4148 diode that is glued to a mounting pad. Since most radios use two of these, measure the voltage drop across the good one and just pick a silicon diode with a similar voltage drop and thermally couple it to the part it is protecting. Align bias current after the repair.
