So I guess ya can call me "Mr. Some" , cause I always fully disconnect them , leave them in place , and then run the wires to a terminal strip holding the diodes (and if used , the dropping resistor) Many times , the same screw that holds the selenium in can be used to piggy back the terminal strip right there .

Exactly
