   component identification please   
   27 Dec 18 08:48:31   
   
   I have searched google but cant identify these two components.   
      
   I think they are Diodes. they look like Diodes, Black with two conductors at   
   either end.   
      
   1 Says D1, only this. It has a two symbols on it that are printed at one end   
   that are repeated around the circumference of the component that is mayb 1/8   
   of and inch thick. It is two solid triangles  repeated around the end.   
      
   E.G. /\ \/ /\ \/ etc.   
      
   When I put my volt meter on it, assuming that it is a diode and setting my   
   meter to Diode test I get nothing. There are about 4 of them. So I doubt they   
   are all blown if at all. There is no result no matter which way I put the   
   polarity.   
      
   The Second component also looks like a diode. It is also in the row that has   
   the above components in them.   
      
   It has sort of a chevron around one end. Repeated in circumference. E.G.   
   <==<  <==< . The only identifying mark apears to be the number 22 on it.   
      
   I tried testing this also but no luck on diode setting.   
      
   Any ideas.   
      
   Perhaps if they are diodes the meter does not have enough to get it moving   
   forward. I believe many diodes use about .6 v. before working. I assume that   
   is what the meter is putting out?   
      
   Thank you.
