I agree with not taking the risk indoors of the dreaded selenium stink . I also see the point of not wanting to loose the original appearance of the chassis . This is why I disconnect , but leave present , the selenium and wire in the diode and resistor in such a way that it could always be reverted back in the future if for some crazy reason it was desired . Or at least that's what I do with still functioning selenium units . Non functioning ones are still allowed on the chassis if they have gone open or otherwise failed non stinky , but I cut the lugs off of them specifically so that they can't be hooked back up by someone in the future .
