Exactly

I take em' out, mount them on little blocks of wood and use them as neat looking paperweights

I've got a couple of low voltage HIGH current bridge seleniums that are big'n'heavy enough to be paper weights without being mounted...

Moyers is filled with nos selenium rectifiers and I think they will sit for a long time.....there is a guy who stock piles them I wonder if he knows they are or will go bad...... never replaced them in Radios so its probably time to do so.
