Hello Russ.
Congrats on efforts of full- elec restoration of your vintage family Philco!! Plenty of good help here! The item you mentioned on the schematic that reads in mmf, or mmfds,? isnt a resistor!!!, it is a "small mica capacitor", and most probably still a good orig part! Resistors are rated in "ohms"& wattage individually within the schematic.
Are you sure the 2-wires you mentioned (previously cut thru your chassis) werent the orig ac line cord wires?
If possible, post chassis only photos here for future help in restoring your set! Photos definately help! Best of luck on your restoration!
