Hi John,
The Selenium rectifier is original. I viewed it with suspicion, given that the original reservoir / smoothing can had obviously gone to meet it's maker and been replaced - after a fashion - before I got the radio.
However, it proved to be sound and puts out bags of HT which does not collapse as the valves draw current.
So I left it alone.
