Yes, there are two .01 uF capacitors inside the bakelite housing. Quite common in many Philco radios of that vintage. You're about to embark on another great adventure in radio restoration. It's actually not hard to do.
And since those two caps are across the power line, you should replace them with "safety capacitors" while your are at it.
Chuck's excellent site tells how to do it: http://www.philcorepairbench.com/capbuild.htm
