As far as the -vacuum tube- rectifier replacements, they were just a silicon diode with a series ballast resistor. It worked OK if the current was in the right ballpark. So, for a selenium rectifier replacement, you might try that same model (resistor in series) for a relatively stable current draw application such as a receiver or a pre-amp's power supply. For a more dynamic model, I like the zener idea, however, they would have to be capable of handling peak current/power. Any other folks have a good yet simple solution?
