That's what I thought, too. Edit: But see my post directly below this one for more info.

I really like many of those mid-1930s British Philcos! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

I thought I had a model 98 service bulletin, Hotwire, but I don't. Sorry. And I see you have already looked at the Rider's info and it doesn't match your set.

As a matter of policy, we generally prefer not to send anyone away to another site when they come here looking for answers. But in cases like this, the best way to help you out would be to direct you to the UK Vintage Radio and Restoration Forum.

There is little to no information available on UK/European Philcos over here in the USA, even though many of them were built in Philadelphia and then exported to the UK. So there may be someone on the UK forum who has the service info you seek.

Good luck - and let us know what happens!
