   How do you test a Selenium Rectifier?   
      
   Yes, I am aware that they should be replaced, but on preliminary tests   
   of this 1956 Zenith tube AM-FM Radio, I want to know if it's working. My   
   digital multimeter shows 1meg in one direction, 2.5 meg the other way.   
   NOT DISCONNECTED FROM THE CIRCUIT. To me, that seems bad, but I have not   
   worked with one of these in many years, and never had to replace one in   
   the old days. My meter was climbing, probably from the filter caps.   
   during this test.
