I found an RCA WR-49B for next to nothing, figured I'd grab it for non Model 20 projects. I'm currently recapping and going through it, the unit itself is very clean and in nice shape. All pots turn freely, the couple tubes inside tested strong, etc.

I noticed it has an old selenium rectifier. What are the chances I'll need to replace this? It also has some kind of odd (to me) setup with a 1 watt, 10meg resistor with a coil winding around it. Hard to explain... I was going to just leave that and hope it worked ok.
