I think deleting the 0.01uf branch part of C51 would improve the fidelity of the radio on today's bass HEAVY modern AM band.
One switch position would be light bass boost and the second position would be ZERO bass boost.
Rather than light bass and heavy bass.
Again I think it's lame and stingy that Philco put in a two position switch for a "tone control".
The other manufacturers of the mid to late 30s were smart enough to use a pot and single tone cap. The end user can dial in the tone they want, with Philco you get TWO choices and you better like it"
Philco seems like the equivalent of early 2000s PowerPC era Apple!
Should get rid of the flabby old fart sound signature. And its reversible.
