Hello all.  Brought home a signal generator in need of some attention.  Replacing the caps and resistors is simple, but I have questions regarding the selenium rectifier.  Has anyone re-built one of these units?  What should I replace the selenium rectifier with?  All help greatly appreciated.  Take care, Gary
