This part is the correct replacement, it’s significantly smaller in size than the original but can be made to fit:

thank you ... I will get about 5 of them and see how I go. So far nothing else is getting hot apart form inductor and this diode. I have busted power supply to make sure capacitors are ok. They seem to be, but I will replace them too
Diode removed and hard drive started to spin but by listening to the drive, reading heads do not seem to be moving. Not sure if it will chime as I did not attached top half

1) your miniDIN wasn't corroded. You could solder that back on
2) Those inductors are hot because there's something drawing too much current. (see 4)
3) That diode looks cooked and seems to have reflowed itself a few times.
4) You probably have a short downstream of it
5) Please don't start yanking parts at random without understanding the circuit around them if you have any intention of restoring the machine. You could break something worse.

They're a common cheap part. Look for a "mini din PCB mounted socket 8 pin" or similar. If you do ever need any.
Bleh, just ignore me, there are way more posts after where I'd got to than I realised. Long been answered many times over. I'll go back to my corner.

After taking diode off, hard drive started to spin but there was no activity from reading heads. Also once I connected top half with the speaker today computer chimed and straight to a floppy disk with ?. Can't find OS to boot from. Did not expect 20Mb drive to be working
