Question #3:

It's sort of hard to explain without taking an Automatic Tuning assembly apart and taking lots of pictures. The only Philco I own with Automatic Tuning is my 38-690, and I really do not wish to disassemble it right now.
But the photo above may help.
As you can see by the red arrow, the tab of that movable muting contact should ride inside the slot the arrow is pointing to. There should be a fiber washer in front of that movable contact which insulates it from the movable metal piece in front of it. With the tab inside that slot, when the little knob is pushed in to operate the automatic tuning mechnism, the tab shorts to the movable metal piece, thus shorting out the set's audio.
I hope this helps.
