Yea that’s about how my 34a went. That one had been used and abused in and out of the breadboard many times though. He’d led a good life seen many circuits, but he always was there to do the same thing.This happened to me with a 1n270 bent the leg and the glass body crumbled.

Same here... that component substitution box is now on the list of "things... I... must... have!!!!"I didn’t know the component substitution box was a thing, that’s incredibly cool. I may buy one if I don’t win one. And that knob setter, I was thinking about one of those a few days ago. Now I feel like I need one.
... but they can only be called that if they come from the Diode region of France... otherwise they're "sparkling one-way semiconductors"Little known fact*, the word "diode" is French and is pronounced dee-ahh-day.
At least it is around here.
If they had them in stock still
