Don't know what diodes were spec'd in the FM3Zone kit. I've successfully used 1N5711 in that app. 1N5711 is a 70V / 15mA Schottky device so forward drop is on order of 0.4 V or thereabouts and similar to germanium in that regard. They're in a leaded DO41 pkg so should drop in w/o mods. You could also try 1N34A. This is an old style germanium part that is no longer current but shows up occasionally at the usual antique radio parts sources like AES.
