Philco model 51-930 Restoration
#6

Different people have different opinions. As someone who began repairing my neighbors TVs and radios and small appliances more than a half century ago at the age of 12, and pursued electronics as my career, I take a repairman's view. I never re-stuff the original caps when they are UNDER the chassis and won't be seen by the general public. I have re-stuffed a few when they were visible above the chassis so that things continued to look original to the casual observer. I don't se-stuff the ones below since they will only be seen by the next poor schmuck who has to work on the radio, and will let that person know what has been done and approximately when, and not fool them into thinking new condensers are actually old ones, and entailing needless replacements. So, if you have not re-stuffed the condensers under the chassis, don't feel bad. The main thing is to get these old radios playing like new again so they can be enjoyed by the present and future generations
