From what I've read, I should be getting a forward bias reading of .2 to .7. Typically a .2 reading for the germanium type diodes and .7 reading for the silicon type diodes. It appears that I'm getting a short  reading on the forward bias for both diodes. What I didn't expect to see was a OL (Over limit), (1 on my meter), on the reverse bias for both diodes. From what I gather, both of these diodes are shorted! Back to the store!
