Item 1.		Security and Issuer
		The class of equity securities to which this statement on Schedule
13D relates is the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Securities"), of
Selas Corporation of America (the "Issuer"), a Pennsylvania corporation with
principal offices located 1260 Red Fox Road, Arden Hills, MN 55112.

Item 2.		Identity and Background
		This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mario Gabelli")
and various entities which he directly or indirectly controls or for which he
acts as chief investment officer.  These entities, except for Lynch Corporation
("Lynch") and Lynch Interactive Corporation ("Interactive"), engage in various
aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment adviser to various
institutional and individual clients, including registered investment companies
and pension plans, and as general partner of various private investment
partnerships.  Certain of these entities may also make investments for their
own accounts.
	The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more than
5% of a class of a particular issuer.  Although several of the foregoing
persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their
beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who
do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold presented
for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their investment philosophy may
from time to time require action which could be viewed as not completely
passive.  In order to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial
ownership is being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater
investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons have
decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed
Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to
provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.
	(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one or more of the
following persons: Gabelli Group Capital Partners, Inc. ("Gabelli Partners"),
Gabelli Asset Management Inc. ("GBL"), Gabelli Funds, LLC ("Gabelli Funds"),
GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Advisers, Inc. ("Gabelli Advisers"),
Gabelli Securities, Inc. ("GSI"), Gabelli & Company, Inc. ("Gabelli &
Company"), Gabelli & Company, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), MJG
Associates, Inc. ("MJG Associates"), Gabelli Foundation, Inc. ("Foundation"),
Mario Gabelli, Lynch, and Interactive.  Those of the foregoing persons signing
this Schedule 13D are hereafter referred to as the "Reporting Persons".

	For information required by instruction C to Schedule 13D with respect to
the executive officers and directors of the foregoing entities and other
related persons (collectively, "Covered Persons"), reference is made to
Schedule I annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
		(f)  - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.

Item 3.		Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
		The Reporting Persons used an aggregate of approximately $1,186,387
to purchase the Securities reported as beneficially owned in Item 5.  GAMCO
used approximately $899,372 of funds that were provided through the accounts of
certain of their investment advisory clients (and, in the case of some of such
accounts at GAMCO, may be through borrowings from client margin accounts) in
order to purchase the Securities for such clients.  Gabelli Advisers used
approximately $287,015 of client funds to purchase the Securities reported by
it.

Item 4.		Purpose of Transaction
		Each of the Reporting Persons has purchased and holds the
Securities reported by it for investment for one or more accounts over which it
has shared, sole, or both investment and/or voting power, for its own account,
or both.
		The Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of Lynch and its
affiliates, are engaged in the business of securities analysis and investment
and pursue an investment philosophy of identifying undervalued situations.  In
pursuing this investment philosophy, the Reporting Persons analyze the
operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which they invest,
including the Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation
and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with
representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management).  The
Reporting Persons do not believe they possess material inside information
concerning the Issuer.  As a result of these analytical activities one or more
of the Reporting Persons may issue analysts reports, participate in interviews
or hold discussions with third parties or with management in which the
Reporting Person may suggest or take a position with respect to potential
changes in the operations, management or capital structure of such companies as
a means of enhancing shareholder values.  Such suggestions or positions may
relate to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j)
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D including, without limitation, such matters as
disposing of one or more businesses, selling the company or acquiring another
company or business, changing operating or marketing strategies, adopting or
not adopting, certain types of anti-takeover measures and restructuring the
company's capitalization or dividend policy.
		Each of the Reporting Persons intends to adhere to the foregoing
investment philosophy with respect to the Issuer.  However, none of the
Reporting Persons intends to seek control of the Issuer or participate in the
management of the Issuer, and any Reporting Person that is registered as an
investment company under the 1940 Act will participate in such a transaction
only following receipt of an exemption from the SEC under Rule 17d-1 under the
1940 Act, if required, and in accordance with other applicable law.  In
pursuing this investment philosophy, each Reporting Person will continuously
assess the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects, general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and
those for the Issuer's securities in particular, other developments and other
investment opportunities, as well as the investment objectives and
diversification requirements of its shareholders or clients and its fiduciary
duties to such shareholders or clients.  Depending on such assessments, one or
more of the Reporting Persons may acquire additional Securities or may
determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its holdings of
Securities.  Although the Reporting Persons share the same basic investment
philosophy and although most portfolio decisions are made by or under the
supervision of Mario Gabelli, the investment objectives and diversification
requirements of various clients differ from those of other clients so that one
or more Reporting Persons may be acquiring Securities while others are
disposing of Securities.
		With respect to voting of the Securities, the Reporting Persons
have adopted general voting policies relating to voting on specified issues
affecting corporate governance and shareholder values.  Under these policies,
the Reporting Persons generally vote all securities over which they have voting
power in favor of cumulative voting, financially reasonable golden parachutes,
one share one vote, management cash incentives and pre-emptive rights and
against greenmail, poison pills, supermajority voting, blank check preferred
stock and super-dilutive stock options.  Exceptions may be made when management
otherwise demonstrates superior sensitivity to the needs of shareholders.  In
the event that the aggregate voting position of all joint filers shall exceed
25% of the total voting position of the issuer then the proxy voting committees
of each of the Funds shall vote their Fund's shares independently.
		Each of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person has
purchased the Securities reported herein as beneficially owned by him for
investment for his own account or that of one or more members of his immediate
family.  Each such person may acquire additional Securities or dispose of some
or all of the Securities reported herein with respect to him.
		Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons and
none of the Covered Persons who is not a Reporting Person has any present plans
or proposals which relate to or would result in any transaction, change or
event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.		Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of Securities to which this
Schedule 13D relates is 302,200 shares, representing 5.90% of the 5,124,214
shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2003.  The Reporting Persons beneficially own those
Securities as follows:

4.04%

Gabelli Advisers

95,200

		Mario Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the
Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons.  GSI is deemed
to have beneficial ownership of the Securities owned beneficially by Gabelli &
Company.  GBL and Gabelli Partners are deemed to have beneficial ownership of
the Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons other than
Mario Gabelli and the Foundation.
(b) Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has the sole
power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the
disposition of the Securities reported for it, either for its own benefit or
for the benefit of its investment clients or its partners, as the case may be,
except that (i) Gabelli Funds has sole dispositive and voting power with
respect to the shares of the Issuer held by the Funds so long as the aggregate
voting interest of all joint filers does not exceed 25% of their total voting
interest in the Issuer and, in that event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each
Fund shall respectively vote that Fund's shares, (ii) at any time, the Proxy
Voting Committee of each such Fund may take and exercise in its sole discretion
the entire voting power with respect to the shares held by such fund under
special  circumstances such as regulatory considerations, and (iii) the power
of Mario Gabelli, GBL, and Gabelli Partners is indirect with respect to
Securities beneficially owned directly by other Reporting Persons.
		(c) Information with respect to all transactions in the Securities
which were effected during the past sixty days or since the most recent filing
on Schedule 13D, whichever is less, by each of the Reporting Persons and
Covered Persons is set forth on Schedule II annexed hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
		(d) The investment advisory clients of, or partnerships managed by
GAMCO have the sole right to receive and, subject to the notice, withdrawal
and/or termination provisions of such advisory contracts and partnership
arrangements, the sole power to direct the receipt of dividends from, and the
proceeds of sale of, any of the Securities beneficially owned by such Reporting
Persons on behalf of such clients or partnerships.  Except as noted, no such
client or partnership has an interest by virtue of such relationship that
relates to more than 5% of the Securities.
(e) Not applicable.

Item 6.		Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect
		to Securities of the Issuer
		The powers of disposition and voting of GAMCO, GSI, and MJG
Associates with respect to Securities owned beneficially by them on behalf of
their investment advisory clients, or on behalf of the partnerships which they
directly or indirectly manage, are held pursuant to written agreements with
such clients or partnerships.

Item 7.		Material to be Filed as an Exhibit
