Is this usual in Philco sets?
#3

many times unused pins on sockets are used as a means to continue a component to wire transition or to chassis.
the prints never show this level of detail, you have to just know that its the same path electrically no matter if a terminal is used or not.
generally terminal strips are not shown either.

looking at the pic and the diagram, not sure why you have the N & hot AC power leg across the on/off switch. the breaker you power from should be tripping.
~gets me thinking maybe someone retrofitted in a safer plug design sometime in the past.

normally the ac power leg will come in to the on/off sw then power continues out of the on off sw then out to the radio components.

"I" personaly would bend pin 7 inboard a tad, too close to the chassis.
