Gentlemen, just a thought here. Being that this is a tube radio and tubes are fairly robust, is it worth worrying about an extra 10V B+ ? I pondered this question sometime back when restoring my Zenith AM/FM table top radio when I replaced the selenium rectifier with a silicon diode. There already was a 22 ohm resistor there to limit surge current to the first electrolytic so I basically just swapped out the selenium for a silicon diode. This radio is my daily driver in my shop and has been playing just fine for well over a year now. That extra 10V isn’t even 10% extra, well within the tolerance of what is expected on the schematic. Thoughts!!
