I recently repaired a Dansette Conquest Auto, in which both the selenium rectifier and reservoir/smoothing caps were in good working condition, so left both in circuit. Someone on UKVRRRR said these components don't give trouble in Dansettes, and a good 'soak' test proved him right, so I hope the rectifier doesn't fail later with all that entails. The player went back to it's owner on Saturday, but I shall soon hear from him if there's a failure!!
