View Full Version : Selenium rectifier for GE Portable... Magnavox300 09-09-2022, 05:14 PM Just recapped this small GE 1950’s TV, model 14T017. Not sure about the rectifier, looks bad, paint is peeling off it... All I have in the way of silicon diodes are N4007’s, would one of those work? Electronic M 09-09-2022, 05:51 PM Yes I've done that on one of those exact sets and it works fine with a direct swap... Be careful about polarity. The + end of the old selenium is confusingly the - end of the new diode. Magnavox300 09-09-2022, 07:34 PM Yes I've done that on one of those exact sets and it works fine with a direct swap...
