The extra connections are for a dipole antenna called the Philco All-Wave Aerial. This dipole used a balun at the antenna to feed a twisted pair lead-in, which in turn connected to the two screws in the back of your 610. Most other 1936 Philco models were similarly equipped.
In 1937, Philco changed the name of the outdoor antenna to the Philco High Efficiency Aerial. You can read a little more info on Chuck's site:
