Hi folks.
I picked up a homebrew synth at a yard sale over the weekend.
Documentation and some crude schematics came with it and, after
opening it up, I saw this burnt out component:

The documentation tells that it's a zener diode (8.2V, 2W, 10%).
Looking online, I'm finding 8.2V zener diodes but only with a 1.3W and
lower or higher than 3W. Nothing in the 2W range.
I'm guessing a 1.3W diode should the job, right?
This is my first time trying to diagnose and repair something.
Thanks!
