[Amps] Another Vintage Henry Question

[carl seyersdahl]

  I don't mean to make fun of anyone (far be from me) , But if you recognize
a "selenium rectifier" you all gotta be as old as me (or more). !! Those
things went out Looong ago.!!!
 Sorry , but I couldn't help interjecting this little Gem.!!!
   I've even got a little story about that which happened locally several
years ago.!!!
    Happy labor day to all.!!!!
