Who runs selenium rectifiers anymore? I will tell you that they have a
distinct odor all their own upon blowing, but TV's were one of the first to
switch over to diodes. I don't think you'll find a nerd that's old enough
to know what a blown selenium rectifier smells like, which is actually the
part I find amusing.
