Last night, I began actually replacing components.
This set has its own unique RF unit which is a metal box that houses the band switch, three paper capacitors, and some wire. Coils are mounted on top of this unit, and there are also a couple coils inside.
You think a 1937 Philco RF unit is difficult to service? Take a look at this:

This photo was taken after I had replaced all three paper caps. No, I'm not bothering to restuff the old paper caps in this set. It was difficult enough to get the old caps out and the new ones in without damaging anything. Wow! That was tough!
