    true but while continuity is detected…. yellow to red No continuity should be seen to ground

    testing yellows to ground continuity only….. will need to have probes reversed and NO continuity should be detected to RED while testing ground continuity

    lots of info on the web . Wannabe does not say why he thinks it is bad… no symptoms listed… rectifier does not look toast but those old selenium rectifiers did not work very hard as you surely know. That engine looks like a purist engine…IF the rectifier is bad I would leave it in for looks and hook up and hide the little modern wonder behind somewhere to do all the work 🙂
