[NJARC] Selenium Rectifier replacement

[TrainBee]

Recently, I've come across a few 50's vintage radios that should have their selenium rectifiers replaced.  I'm thinking safety first over authenticity.  This is uncharted territory for me.  What are some of the guidelines to follow for their replacement.  I have some 1N4007 diodes, but I'm not sure of the math to follow.  When it comes to the corresponding resistor, is it best to use a 10 w resistor after you figure out the necessary resistance.

I don't recall seeing an article in our newsletter over the last 15 years or so. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
