I believe that you are right Mike, it's been a while since I restuffed a Philco Bakelite block, but the ones I remember handling had a built in stand off of about 1/8 of an inch or so above the chassis. I did this the hard way, I disconnected everything, removed each block, melted out the contents with a heat gun, and then restuffed it, but if you can do it in place so much the better. I could see this working quite well since they likely focused on potting the bottom portion of the block more so then the top, unfortunately I don't think my heat gun has that level of control, it just has a high and a low setting.
