Hello Trevor,

Glad to hear you are making some real progress!

The original STC selenium rectifier is probably NLA and any that you may find may well be u/s!

You can use either a single silicon bridge rectifier, rated at 50V and 3Amps (minimum) and probably bolted to the chassis, to act as a heat sink. Alternatively, four individual silicon diodes, such as the 1N5402 (50V, 3A) should suffice.

Regards,

Dazzlevision
