The bakelite block capacitors have numbers on the side of them cast in the bakelite. the numbers give you the capacitor configuration and values when you look them up on the service bulletin posted in the Tech Section.
morzh has posted a nice thread on how to get the guts out of them without taking them completely out of the chassis, although I often find it just easier to take them out and work on them.
For bakelite block numbers that are not listed in the service bulletin, Ray Blintiff wrote a book listing a lot more of them Philco Condensors and More. Although it is no longer in print, many of us have a copy and can give you the info when needed.
