Jeffhs,
As for line fuses, these radios were made during the depression era so many times, there were compromises....plus during those days before UL was around there was more leeway for a lack of safeguards...just think "resistance line cords" running along the drapes and carpets in most homes!
Plus, the local radio repair shops were able to keep busy I imagine!!
I believe most of us would put line fuses on those kind of radios...I've got two old pre-war Zeniths with 6X5's...some things just make sense including using the better designed rectifiers too.
