        These aren't HV diodes, in the sense that I think you are thinking
of. i.e. they aren't in the "stick" package, like those in the G-05,
19V2000, etc. These diodes are in pretty much "normal" diode packages

        They are used to create the +400V and +90V in the Cinematronics
monitor. The Keltron HV unit outputs 16 kV (Anode Voltage), +400V, and
+90V. I think the 400V is for the focus voltage, and the 90V is the
cathode voltage, but I might have them backwards.
