Well, if we would listen to the OP, the meter is apparently missing. As I recall, there are two differing set ups on Philcos, one with the meter alone supplying B+ to the front end of the receiver and one where it did the same thing but with a resistor in parallel just in case the coil should open and the the front end will still get enough voltage to work. If yours is a receiver that did not have that bypass resistor, I agree with Brenda , should work just fine with a bypass wire or maybe a 1-2K resistor if the B+ looks a little high. If it had that resistor in parallel, you shouldn't need to do anything.
Again, I know nothing!
