Tracksoup, hi. Fast answers to your questions: The coaxial lead are from the phone cartridge and are not the same as the other pair which supply the AC to the phonograph motor. Can caps usually refers to electrolytic capacitors in an aluminum can mounted on chassis, tar buckets usually a tin/sheetmetal box containing caps and or resistors filled with a black wax (tar) You may also run across capacitor blocks which were unique to Philco. These blocks contained caps and resistors and also served as a terminal strip. One word of caution, these set contain high voltages (in your set 250+DC and 120VAC) which can be lethal. Caution should be taken before working on them. Also, until you have at least replaced the rectifier caps, don't plug in the set, you could burn out the Xfrmr which may be irreplacable. Check sites like antigueradios.com and nostalgiaair.com and go through back posts. There is a lot of information to pick up before plugging in. I'm sure more members will jump in here now that its started. Your request is actually quite a tall order for any one member to handle. PL
