The only problem with using silicon diodes to replace a selenium rectifier is that the voltage drop will only be 0.7 volts per diode compared with maybe three or four with the selenium one, which will also vary with current draw. Depending upon application and load a few ohms series resistance might be required to get back to the original working conditions.
