Okay I took the 1n914 and added some wire and heat shrunk everything so it wouldn't touch the heat sink. Then I placed the 1n914 in the same bracket that the original CR3 was in. I laid it in there with it kind of looped around it as seen in the attached photo.

Now when I turn it on I don't get the dc hum any more but I get a ton of static.
