Zenith T724 Selenium rectifier
#1

I am finishing up a Zenith T724 and only need to replace the selenium rectifier.

The schematic is in Beitmens pages 182 and 183. each page is marked at the bottom.

http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Arch...n-1956.pdf

I cant see the info on the schematic but I was thinking that since there is a 22 ohm resistor between the selenium and the negative side of the ecaps that a simple diode would work?

  If I remember correctly, The anode goes to the negative side of the wires on the selenium and the diode goes to the 22 ohm resistor and on to the negative of the ecap.

Am I wrong here? Do I need a second resistor or a larger value?

Thanks for any help...

(at least it isn't a resisence line cord) Icon_lol
