My 2 cents.

Phlogiston is the most "correct" (in a Blooming gold Corvette way) If it's restored it should be exactly the way it left the factory. If it had 1 coat of lacquer when it left Philco, 10 coats is absolutely incorrect.

My opinion, its your radio, do it how YOU want it.

But I'll say this, if you restuff the paper caps, leave a note in the chassis of just when it was done, or the next guy will go online and be told he has to replace all those 'old' caps! Icon_eek
