Mike;
I heard that the early Philco TVs are also bad for having a copious number of paper caps, even compared to something like an RCA 630 chassis, I noticed that even their five tube AC/DC sets seem to have more then the average, and inside a cramped chassis too I might add. Whatever they potted those line condenser blocks with doesn't melt easily, so you may be in for a session of drilling, and chipping away the compound to get the old caps out. I think that Philco used them because they were convenient to use as a terminal for the line cord. The dial mechanism is probably stiff due to dried out grease/bearings, so the will probably need repacking.
Regards
Arran
