Philco 511 transformer smell
#6

Put your hand on the condenser can, as well as the filter choke, if something is smelling whilst the set is power up, and it is not the power transformer, it has to be one of the other two. Someone may have installed new capacitors but that does not mean that the old caps were taken out of circuit, a lot of people had a bad habit of bridging old components with new components rather then disconnecting the old ones first.
Regards
Arran
