Yes, from a maintenance viewpoint, somewhat annoying. However I was always under the impression that fitting the detector diode inside the I.F. can was regarded as a good design feature, since it restricts harmonics produced by the rectification action of the diode from interfering with other bits of the circuitry that are R.F. sensitive and thus subject to interference.
