Hi Eliot Ness
I thought I should replace that block.
I looked up the part on a philco repair site. The voltage they show are as high as 2,000 volts. I already looked on the inside "carefully" to find five caps, I'm sure they are the same as the ones found in the bakelite blocks.
The 2nd IF Transformer only has readings on one pair of terminals. The other two terminals have no reading at all. I cannot find any broken wire in the windings. The wire I did find was visibly broken. Looks Like I will be replacing a couple parts.
