I picked up a set of Philco tools from Steve Davis and have been practicing his technique on the butchered chassis. That is leaving the bakelite block wiring in place, clipping the internal leads with a small drill bit and poking out the old cap through the eyelets. Works amazingly well. Much better than my old technique of removing the block and chipping it out from the backside. These practically just fell out.

Here's another I did that had already been removed from the radio.
A quick twist of the drill bit in an eyelet cuts the thins wires.
A little heat to get things loosened up. I really do mean a little. Only around 130F. I could comfortable hold the block while working on it.
Then a little poke and it slid right out Icon_biggrin
