Philco 59c
#8

Here's a summary of the rest of the restoration:

Not only were there a lot of caps tacked into the underside of the chassis,

but two of the block capactors were removed and more caps tacked in on the top of the chassis:

Found some block caps from John Kendall's antique electronics site and restored the topside:

Stuffed the 8 & 4 uF electrolyic can, stuffed the remaining block capacitors and made some dogbone resistors to replace out of spec ones (yes, there is one last modern resistor peeking out of the oscillator transformer can yet to be replaced):
