Given you're fixing this for a customer you should probably try opperating it in a public place the same distance from the stations as the customer lives...If you modify it to not overload in your excessive signal area then deliver it to the customer if may prove to be completely deaf to all stations in your customers home.
TRF sets are not very selective and often have inadequate shielding for as close to the towers as you are.
If this was your set to keep I'd understand modifying it, but since it's a customer's set you need to make sure it works right where they're at (presumably under more normal conditions).

TRF sets often have no audio gain control and only an antenna attenuator pot so running them in strong signal locations is tricky....Also if any of the factory shielding is missing they'll tend to feedback and oscillate (make funny noises).
