More photos.
First, the amp/power supply chassis after a good cleaning and polishing:

and a back view of the woofer:

The entire set was quite dirty, with lots of mouse droppings. Even more trash was found at the bottom of the speaker pedestal...including the remains of a long-dead mouse.
Debbie and I cleaned the cabinet up, and I rubbed it down with Howard's Restore-A-Finish.
Now, a look in the back of the set, with the woofer and amp/power supply in place:

The speaker mounting board has holes cut out for tweeters, but this set never had any - note the absence of screw holes:

Now, a look at the back of the set with everything in place:

I'll clean and polish the upper chassis later.
A close-up of the dial and knobs:

And, finally, the reassembled Philharmonic as it now sits in our living room:
