Better make that two, one for each plate lead from the transformer.
If you want the look of a lit rectifier tube, just disconnect the plate pins 3,5 and cathode pin 8 leads from the tube socket and put the 1N4007s in there, and two 100 ma. fuses of course.

I think that NoPegs was supporting my desire to keep things original and have a working 6X5 and add a fuse. Would I use two fuses as you suggest at 100 mA. with the working tube and still be protected. I didn't know if you were suggesting 100 mA. for the semiconductors or if that would apply to whatever device is in that circuit.
