The audio mute is for the Cone-Centric automatic tuning mechanism. When a station is being tuned in with this mechanism, it is supposed to mute the audio until the tuning knob is released (pulled back away from the cone). This has nothing to do with the band switch.
The band switch is only a two position switch since the set has but two bands (the AM band, and shortwave from 5.7 to 18.2 mc). Either yours is broken, or has been tampered with.
Oh, and Philco did not start marketing their wireless phonographs with the built-in phono oscillators until the following year.
