Vince, Â The SCR looks to be the crowbar for a overvoltage, you may have something else wrong also.

There is the schematic for a 736R, not sure what the R difference is but it lists your SCR as a 5P4M, a google search shows many available.

Thanks Kevin, and everyone else for the help, I have all schematics and original manuals for the rig, but didn't have one for the PSU. Ha, Murphy's law
I think the reason the SCR finally gave out, was I kept the radio on 24/7, and there is a lot of heat in it any way. I need to make up a 12V power cord so I can power it externally.
And Talk about good luck, I also noticed I can buy the SCR on ebay, NEC brand.
Thanks again everyone for all the help.
