I checked it by tuning in a station at the high end of the band and then touching my finger to each terminal.
When you touch the osc section it will detune the station off frequency and your finger capacity may even tune it to the nearest lower freq station.
When you touch the ant section, the station stays tuned on freq but the signal and/or noise level will vary.
It is a bit odd that Philco reversed the order of the AM and FM sections of the tuning cap. Since the AM ant and osc sections are wired directly to the band switch, they could have just as easily kept AM and FM consistent. Usually in other radios they correspond in order.
Try it yourself and see of your set is wired the same as mine.
