Usually when I start working on a Philco that requires replacement of rubber-covered wiring, I just pick a spot and jump in.
As you can see above, my work has been concentrated on the center of the chassis. Six paper caps, two micas, and a dozen resistors have been replaced so far.
A closer look:

Yes, those old paper caps in the center of the chassis are restuffed.
As John (Eliot) said earlier, this has been no "walk in the park," and I knew it wouldn't be. So far, I have had to carefully resleeve two wires that run under the permeability tuning unit to the band switch - with more of those to come. This is what is really slowing things down. Once I get past that and start working towards the left, things should pick up as far as speed of work goes.
