I looked up this model, it's an AM/FM AC/DC set. in all honesty the extra 7 volts using a silicon diode over a selenium probably won't hurt anything. The .7 volts is the forward drop across the rectifier diode, but that does not mean that the B+ will be seven volts higher under load, however this is something you would want to take into account in a three way portable where the tube filaments run off of the B+ supply.
