selenium rectifier spice model
I found what appears to be a functioning selenium rectifier, and took
I/V curves off it, and created a spice model to simulate it. It is
marked "rca 940267 9 752652" and has 6 fins.

"Why?" you ask. Figured someone might want to simulate a circuit that
used a selenium rectifier, and how to substitute a silicon diode and
series resistor. Building a series string of 13 1N4004 diodes in series
with a 44 ohm resistor comes close to the selenium rectifier above. But
for most applications one diode and the resistor is enough.
