montgomery ward GEN 680A won't power on

LOL Jeff. . . It was in the title - and I didn't see it!
Brilliant!
Anyway . . .couldn't locate a schematic for it. But the protection diode is easy to find in any radio. It is always real close to where the 12v power comes right into the board. Just follow the power flow in; can't miss it. So Megatron, find that diode and clip it; then replace it with a 1n4003 diode, and then it should be as right as rain again. Cost for that part is anywhere from 5 cents each to $2 for three at Radio Shcak or your local electronics parts house. Common, easy to get part. No problemmo . . .
