[R-390] Selenium Rectifier

[Richard Loken]

I am surprised at the amount of traffic that this subject has inspired.

Lessee now, I have an R-390 and my fingers have never come within many yards
of an R-390A so my knowledge is limited but...  aren't the only seleniums
in the R-390 family used to rectify low voltage and low current to drive
the antenna relay?  There are no seleniums doing anything else in there 
are there?  I will be glad to be corrected if I am wrong.

Sneaking a few rectifiers in there should be pretty easy and neither your
wife nor Art Collins ever need know.

I was surprised to find there were any seleniums at all, I thought they 
were copper oxide but apparantly not.
