A selenium rectifier typically consists of a number of disks on a common insulated shaft. What you are seeing is probably the configuration of a number of separate disk stacks with interconnections to form a two or four diode bridge. There is a connection between the two end wires because the stack ends that must be connected are not adjacent.

If the original selenium rectifier is still working do some voltage measurements to see what the output voltage is before it gets to the filament dropping resistor, and after it.

That's a long-winded way of saying that, just like silicon or germanium diodes—aka "rectifiers"—the lesser-seen selenium can also be used for gain stages in a preamp or drive pedal. Enter the new Project 34 Selenium Rectifier Pre/Drive from Michigan-based boutique maker Cusack, named after the element's atomic number, of course.

Sometimes after a change from the selenium rectifier to the diode SOME amps will require a change in the resistors on the 7 lug terminal strip in order to bias the amp properly.

That looks to me to be a small selenium bridge rectifier. I gather that the two blue terminals at the ends are tied to one another? If so, AC in on yellow, and my *guess* is that the red terminal is the common cathode connection of the bridge (the + DC point) and that the two blue terminals are the common anode connection on the bridge (the - DC point).

selenium rectifiers also have a greater voltage drop vs silicon. Typical silicon diode for up to 1000v is 0.6 volts. Each slice of selenium is good for about 20 volts reverse and loses about 1 volt forward. To get high voltages they simply stack up the slices, which of course stacks up the forward voltage loss.

In general, a selenium rectifier drops about 1V per cell, so if you count the number of cells (plates) and multiply by 1V, that should give a reasonable idea of the total drop. You, of course, would then have to determine the current draw to select an appropriate value of series resistor to drop that much voltage (or add a series Zener diode of ...

I realize now, I should have added a ...
