The extra hole looks to be where a filter capacitor can was once located. As was mentioned, many Philco radios have the rectifier tube mounted on the power transformer. Especially 1937 models. I've never encountered any additional problems by having that kind of arrangement on a set.
Would be great to see this set resotred. Two things it has going for it are a good dial glass and all the knobs.
