Almost any diode will work there, 1N914, 1N4148, 1N4001, etc.

Just make sure to install it in the right polarity or you can blow up the power amp. Also handle the leads of the two diodes mounted to the heat sink with extreme caution, as they will break of at the case.

You may want to test the output transistor that is unhooked before turning the amp back on. There may or may not be a reason that it was disconnected.

If you have a lightbulb limiter available you might want to use it when you power up the amp again.
