Hello Aaron! I wouldnt worry about the cap in the "tube" too much! Philco did some strange-things in ridding unwanted UFO signals in the overall signal-path sometimes,(hee hee), just as you & all us here have "encountered" over the yrs! ( hee hee)! Cut that orig philco rascal cap loose, replace it with a modern replacement, and if in qusetion after that, just cut a small piece of 18 ga solid-strand wire, solder it to one end of the cap, wrap the cap, & your ears can do the rest/test! Personally speaking, I think Philco often times "chunked in" some strange parts ( whatever was onhand) over all the yrs, as did most mfgrs back then, as the orig Philco assembly line workers had avail on any given day! Ive run across "stranger things" , just as you, in many sets Ive restored over the yrs past!
Congrats on your Philco restoration!, and glad to hear you had a 60 hz motor in your phono! Listened to any good vintage records on it yet? Keep us posted!! Your a great asset to this vintage radio forum indeed, keep up the great work Aaron!!!
