Just found a Sylvania and took it apart... it had a 3 Amp glass fuse covered with shrink fit between the board and the center contact of the screw-in socket. I like this design, as it possibly could provide somewhat better protection in the case of a over-voltage line spike, which might create a charred path if the fuse or fuse resistor were mounted on the circuit board.
