Wow, that's huge!
I've been experimenting with replacing the selenium rectifier. Through trial and error I determined that using a 1N4007 silicon diode plus a 12 ohm, 5W resistor produces the desired +125VDC with a 120 VAC AC line voltage.
That got me thinking that if I could bump the existing fusistor up from 3 to 15 ohms, it would make a cleaner modification.
Well, I didn't have any on hand, but I do have some modern 4.7 ohm fusible resistors so I combined that with a regular power resistor.
While I was at it, I figured why why not add the diode too ?
It works fine, but the diode is getting pretty hot so I think it might be best to relocate it away from the resistors.
