More than 1% of the bad thru-hole era diodes I found had cracks in the
glass. Some of them were missing chunks of glass.

Same as the TO-220 lead bending failures. Somewhere around here in
one of my tool boxes I have a red plastic strip that you drop
resistors (or diodes) into a slot with the lead spacing you want and
bend without stress.

Mine was blue. No idea where it is now.

Same here. I was going to post a picture, but I couldn't find it :-(

The picture, the post, or the horse tied to the post?

"The horse may talk" ;-)


"Sheep LIE!!!"
