Hello Ken

How about these on ebay?
4pcs 1 Amp 10kV High Voltage Rectifier

Hello Everyone.
Thanks for the replies, I have some BY255's which are rated at 1300v at 1A, 
the input to the diode stack is about 2.3KV peak, and was planning to use 
two BY255s in series in each of the four legs, of the full wave bridge, the 
problem is most resistors are only rated at 500v, hence using a single diode 
would remove the need for resistors. With resistors rated at 500v, this 
would require 16 diodes, and there is not that amount of space. Next 
question does anyone know of a source of 470K resistore rated at 1KV? these 
are rare and expensive animals
