Philco 116B chassis restoration
#13

Hmmmm.
Well I'm not quite sure. Section 6 of the band switch mostly is switching between the two antenna connections. On the back of the set there are two screw terminals these are for the LW ant. The two fastenstock clips are for the BCB and above. #4 isn't part of the tuned circuit for the ant so I'm thinking that is not particularly critical (that's what #8 does). 4 is connected when the bandswitch is set to the BCB but the signal from the ant can go thur 6 and feed the ant coil.
Like I said don't think it's a show stopper. If I had an inductance meter I could measure the one I have and you could add a small value choke to emulate your open section. Another possibility would be the add a small cap across the open section. This would apply the rf signal form the top of the coil to the second second section.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
