Anyone else remeember the 0XZ4 rectifier? Common is such car radios.
And noisy (in the RF sense) as the dickens. Ran very hot, too. It had
a half-wave cousin, the OY3 (IIRC).
B-supplies for auto radios seemed to come in a couple of flavors--gas
cold-cathode rectifier, traditional hot-cathode rectifier, and
synchronous vibrator rectifier--as well as an occasional plug-in
semiconductor replacement for the miserable OZ4. I don't recall seeing
a selenium rectifier in such rigs, however.
