I bought a "working" Philco 650 chassis for my restore because it was recapped, came with a set of tubes, has a good interstage audio transformer and was much cleaner than the one in the cabinet. But when I tipped it over I was surprised to see a pair of 1N4148 signal diodes wired in place of the detector. It probably needed only one as they are tied together.
