> I noticed it has an old selenium rectifier. What are the chances I'll need to replace this?
100% chance of replacing it. Seleniums go bad. When they do, they may emit a noxious odor that is not good for you.
Alan Douglas once wrote (not an exact quote, going from memory here), "If you throw a selenium rectifier in a trash can and hear it go 'clunk' as it hits the bottom, then it is bad."
Just replace it.
