Thanks Mike, Glen, Jim, Charlie, Mike, Jim, Ray, John, Bill - The majority opinion is that the hole in the top is for a two-meter whip that plugged into a RCA jack near the tank circuits. One fellow agreed however that he's seen a TBS-50 with a ceramic feedthrough on top, though.
Mine doesn't have a jack inside corresponding to the hole... that, plus my recollection of a beehive insulator on top of at least some small rig of similar shape, led me to my theory about the feedthru insulator for HF at that location. Perhaps there were some like that - perhaps modified by hams in that fashion.
