I have a Sony STR-7055 stereo receiver in mint condition and I need to substitute the two Sanyo SV-31 thermal compensator diode because on one of them both of the leads are broken.
My question is can I substitute it with a transistor connected as a diode as it would be easy to fit it on the heatsink? On my multimeter it doesn`t measure like any other diode. The multimeter shows 180 and regular diodes or transistors it usually shows 650-700. Only some Schottky diodes measure that low on a multimeter.
Thanks for the help!
