Bill -

In some of the early TR-3's it was just a short length of #30 magnet 
wire between two terminals on a terminal strip.  There is a row of 
feedthroughs on the shield for the final section under the chassis.  The 
one closest to the front of the chassis is the filament feedthrough.  
Look on the terminal strip right next to it for a short piece of 
enameled (magnet) wire between two terminals.  Or perhaps just two short 
pieces sticking up!  One will have filament voltage and the other will 
show zero ohms to the first feedthrough.
