Philco model 630 capacitor replacement

I'm sure you can! With a little guidance and one or two pieces of test equipment.
Is it the table or floor model? I had one of the floor models years ago. It was a good preforming set. Good sound and pretty sensitive up on the SW bands. I saw a table model up on epay a week or two ago. I bidded on it but didn't get it. I like the dial on those '36 models.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
