A silent 1928 Philco 511
#6

Don't know if I'd fool w/the LOC connection. If 35 is leaky or shorted it could burn up the primary of the ant coil. Connecting the ant to the ac line even thru a small cap is going to couple whatever electrical noise that's around to your set. Could give lots of noise and interference. When you rebuild the filter can (that's where 35 is hiding) I'd reduce the value down to .001 or .005 mf 630v you could leave it out completely.

My old model 87 has it w/a new cap in it @.005 it sparks a bit when connecting the LOC to the ant post. Same set w/a bigger p/s and audio stages.

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!
