Subject: [R-390] EAC R390A question

Hello Folks,
 
I'm going thru the process of restoring a 67 EAC 390A model and was
looking for some information on a test point near the phone plug on the
front panel. The test point is a green plastic post that does not have
any wiring on it behind the panel. Although I think it did at one point
since there is evidence of soldering. My reading of various postings and
literature seems to indicate that it was for the diode load. Most likely
the test point is more convenient in the front then back. It just seems
out of place. There is no labeling above to indicate such feature and I
don't see a lot of radios with this. Can anybody shed some light?  PS: I
very much enjoy this group. You guys are obviously very talented bunch. 
 
Thanks, 
Jon, KB1DC
