Default Scott 299c rectifier update.

I have a Scott 299C that I am getting ready to recap and do a general
restore as it is getting noisy and amazingly has all the original caps.

This is in a listening system so I'm gathering all my eggs before proceeding
because I don't want to thake the system down for long.

I am going to replace the selinium rectifier with silicon, do I need to put
a dropping resistor in to compensate for the efficiency of the silicon or
should I be fine with a direct replacement? BTW this one has bias and
balance for each pair of 7591's much like the early 299D, seems I have a
weird one!

I know I could experiment but surely someone has done this many of times and
has a value needed if any.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
