I'm glad it's working, but I have to wonder why the built-in flashing circuit didn't work when the 9v battery did. It might be worth checking out that circuit to make sure it's working for next time.
As I mentioned in my email, measuring the resistance of a diode with an ohm meter is not likely to give you a good result. You need to use a meter with a diode test function or you need to put a small current through the diode and measure its voltage drop.
Years ago, a lot of meters used a...
Henry, here's one thread I was telling you about. It has information about the rotating diodes. Mouser currently has both the 1N1206A and the 1N1206RA in stock at about $6 each. I recommend testing yours first with a meter that has a diode test function though, since it's quite possible...
