Question about C22 Preamp

Hi guys, I am confused by the circuit of C22 preamp. In the 3# stage if the swith changed to "Flat", is it short the "Rumble Filter" part?

And the circuit is equal to this?

You mean like this?

Yes, notice that the positive feedback from the cathode circuit bootstraps
(increases the effective AC value) the 100k resistors. Since the AC voltage
across them is reduced, their effective AC resistance is increased.

The last 100k also gives a DC path for the grid bias voltage (the drop across the 680R).

Is it necessary to keep that two 10M res?

No, so if you want to eliminate the entire filter circuit, remove all of the parts between
the volume control wiper and the tube's grid. Then add one series coupling capacitor
(0.05uF to 0.1uF) from volume control wiper to the grid. Also add a 100k resistor
from the grid to the junction of R60 and R62. That's it.
