Someone gave me a chassis, which I believe to be from a 37-610. Looks the same (5 tube, of which all were missing), and dial is correct. Thought I'd clean it up and re-cap it, etc.

Removed the RF chassis to get to the buried caps. There is a .05 cap and a parallel 100Ω resistor from pin 8 (cathode) of the 6A8 det.osc. to ground.

It doesn't show up in any schematic, and no reference is made in any service bulletins that I can find. Don't know if there are any other oddities. Any ideas?
