I had a similar issue with an early model 70. The 500 ohm section controls the rf gain via the cathode circuit. The 5K side is to eliminate signal on the ant when the volume is turned down. This stops any reception when the volume is lowered.
I disconnected it and made a resistive divider that would quite the set with the volume down and it tuned to a moderate signal. It does lower the sensitivity but it's negligible.

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.

Now I think I've got!
