Looks like my PT-25 has been monkey with.. Bottom looks pretty messed up.. Thats why I need to see what the bottom is supposed to look like..

Yes he is still around as far as I know; someone here just recently ordered, and received, a schematic packet from him.
He's retired now and enjoying it, so he may take longer to answer you.

Looks like the Original cap exploded.. also finding a lot of crumbled wire.. And replacement wire.. See the YEL/Blk wire throughout..
..
This is going to be a real issue..

Is the IF can actually open circuit or just another victim of crumbling insulation?

Well, Just got a package from Chuck.. Very disappointing 4 sheets that I already have.. NO bottom layout..
Total waste of 7.00 Maybe that's all chuck had.. But Doesn't help me .. Just venting...
I have received packets from Chuck that were excellent..
PS still need a layout of the bottom of this thing...

It's probably all that is available. Don't blame Chuck.
Unfortunately Philco did not provide much in the way of service info for many of the PT series of radios. For some of those, you're lucky if you can get a schematic and maybe a parts list.
