Welcome aboard ecarfar!! If your ready to rebuild a vintage Philco, your in the best forum ever!! Get your replacement capacitors ordered, ( those electrolytics in your photo) MUST be changed immediately!! Dont continue turning on your vintage Philco till you get those filter-caps replaced!! More than likely, if you do a close inspection under the chassis, you will most probably see where they were replaced already sometime ago with some round cardboard-types replacements? With all that "oozing" out of the top of the orig filter-caps mounted on top of your chassis, I doubt seriously if the radio still works at all using those original caps. That said, even the replacements under your chassis needs replacing also. Regardless, dont try to use your radio again until you replace those bad electrolytic filter caps first!! Save your power-transformer before those "leaky" filter-caps cause a major-short!! Anyways,just tryin to help!! Randal, (TxRocker)
