Bendix 5852 = 6X5GT?


Is a Bendix 5852 a drop in replacement for a 6X5GT? Would be replacing the 6X5GT rectifier in my Leben RS30-EQ.
Thanks.

Check with Leben to see if the Bendix 5852 is a recommended replacement. The 5852 draws twice the filament current (1.2A vs .6A for the 6X5). I found the Bendix 5852 to work very well in my Audio Note Kits L3 pre-amp. Give it a couple of minutes of warm up time or you will hear some buzzing.
Never got through directly to Leben but the dealer confirmed the 5852 is an acceptable replacement in the RS30-EQ. Thought I'd wrap this up in case anyone else is curious.
