Caution on heater diodes

64.253.163.66

If I recall correctly, the 1N4007 does 1000 PIV and 1 amp, so you should be good on B+, but I'm not so sure on the heaters, where the concern is current. You could use a diode with a lower PIV rating if you want on the heater supply, but watch the current draw and provide at least twice the needed capacity.
