More progress today:

Most of the wires have now been replaced. All but one paper cap has been replaced, and all but three resistors.
I rebuilt and reinstalled the 1st IF, polishing the can before I put the assembly back together and reinstalled it.
I have now reassembled the 2nd IF. Now only the 3rd IF is waiting for new wires and a polish job to its container.

That's the 3rd IF on top in the photo above; the rebuilt and polished 2nd IF is under the 3rd IF.
Another day or two and its electronic repairs should be complete.
Joe - since it takes so much time and effort to redo one of these Philcos with rubber-covered wires, I don't bother restuffing the caps. When I replaced wires in this set, I used the same colors as it used originally, even though the colors used do not conform to RMA/RETMA/EIA standards. I have used RMA color coding in a few other radios I have worked on; mainly those which required a complete disassembly and rewiring.
