Have you replaced the old selenium rectifier with a silicon bridge? This
tends to give you a bit more zip...

Oh yes it does.....

It's the fastest AMI in the east now! Seriously, this thing *flings*
the record out faster than you'd imagine. I know they were 'crisp' when
new, but this is a bit too fast

I'll probbably put another resistor in there to just hold the line down
a bit - it's around 35 - 40 V at times.

I'm not sure if you can still get the type of selenium used in these
things - I DO know as a fact (because we use them at work), that
seluniums ARE still made.
