Yes - I had removed the 51K resistor that was connected across it, and then forgot to install a new one. 
Here is a quick video of the modified Philco 70 in action.

I was picking up WBZ, Boston, again on this set (as I did on the RCA 10K chassis yesterday).
So, until I come up with a suitable speaker (Ed, I was using the test speaker I got from you several years ago), that is it for this Philco 70. One final thought on this subject - the AVC mod is well worth doing to the non-AVC Philco 70 sets - it improves their performance considerably.
