[NJARC] Fw: Selenium Rectifier replacement

[Robert Bennett]

When you replace the selenium rectifier in a trans oceanic, there was
usually a 130 ohm 3 watt resistor in line to drop the voltage. Regardless of
which type of diode you change to, the focus needs to be on the filament
string or "A" voltage. Zenith specification was not exceed 8.4 volts. You
may want to install a 1R5 installed in the socket of the 1L6 unless you have
a bunch of them or "Bill Gates" funding. I've used varying resistances of
3-5 watt resistors for the drop after replacement.
