Hi Steve
You must mean resistor (67). I honestly do not see any purpose for that resistor, unless the design engineers thought the audio gain was going to be too high going into the first audio amp (Type 77). The resistor was (wisely) removed in later models.
Interesting how your set has the AVC circuit changes yet retains the odd extra resistor in the volume control circuit. Another one of Philco's Phamous running changes...
