I was doing some current testing to replace the selenium rectifier in this meter, and it decided to pop anyway. First time I have used this ancient Selenium Rectifier tester, no clue how to use it but it seems fairly simple. The device under test was bad every way I could test it, so...well done meter. I was going to replace that part anyway.

Aren't those horrible smelling and toxic when they pop? I think I heard that in a video.

They can, yes. This one just quit without the normal fanfare.
