...the one with the steam valve in front, had a diode between the line
power & the pump. I can't find a reference to what diode is needed. My
memory is telling me it's a '4006' but my memory gets me in too much
trouble to be believed. Anyone have a difinitive answer?

yeah, 25 year old pumps are always a good bet.
DUH.
and is that 5 cent diode a delivered price?
please go back to the many other boards you visit.

[top posting so as not to confuse dave]
My guess is that for a total charge of around $5.05 you could get a 1N4007
delivered, versus a pump delvered? u'd be lucky 2 get even the delivery for
that, let alone the cost of the pump. If delivery is such a high cost 4 you,
walk over to Radioshack and buy a 25 pack of these diodes for $2.59. Now how
much for 25 pumps in walking distance? No contest.
OTOH the OP wasn't asking for a pump, he was asking 4 a diode.
Sigh.

If the pump is DC powered, then you need a diode capable of handling
the current of the pump, plus a safety gin.
Assuming a ~50w pump, that's about 1/2amp, so a 1N4006 should work.
1N4006 handles 6A continuous 800V Reverse voltage.

Ian, I think you may have mis-typed, the 1N4001-4007 series are all rated at
1A as far as I know.

Mea Culpa, it is 1A continuous, 30A peak.
Perhaps a bit light for starting a 50W[?] DC motor.

1N4007 is the one.
