That's a 1n3654 diode mounted in the clip between the two output Transistors.

There a NOS one for sale right now on eBay.

There are no Germainium Transistors in these model Kustoms so that was non original and would not work right in the circuit since they need a different value components around them to bias them since they are not silicon based.

Until you confirm that everything is right I would only use a 1.5 amp fuse so you stand less of a chance of blowing a bunch of stuff up.
