Ok, I pretty much a nubie here folks. I did a search on the forum and I did not see a hit, so I started here. I hope this is correct.

I have a few questions on this 1948 DeWald B-504. I know to replace all the capacitors. I laughed when I Googled the two batteries. I got nothing and it said pretty much that.

I just came across this gem and the 4 1/2 volt battery still read 3.5 vdc. Geeze after some 70 years! I believe these two batteries are original. Im sure no one has been in this radio since it was sold in 1948 best I can tell.

First question, should I replace the selenium rectifier? If so, this is done with a diode and a resistor? What values are these? I read somewhere that these gismos can catch fire?

Secondly, I supose I could come up with a power supply to test the batterys that are not available?

Any hints or kinks that anyone may have would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks.....Justin-
