Default STC SenTerCel RM1 specs

There's one of them. Are they rated at full mains voltage & what amperage?
A lot of these small rectifiers are rated at 130V so you'd require two to provide HT from the mains AC.

Max. AC in = 125 Volts.

Max. DC out = 60mA.

Data for the RM1 and other types here:

I was right about the rectifier cell. Half-mains voltage. This was from one of those generic 3v TRF kit radios. The thing must have died immediately on switch-on.
I cannot imagine how this could endure 240V?

Any ideas?
