At the risk of ticking people off here (Haha, I must be on 99% of y'alls' ignore list anyway) I found it much easier to rewire/recap a Zenith ('39 8s463), mainly due to the lugs at the terminals had slots in them making it a breeze to unsolder, and more importantly, to loop the legs through and twist them in with needlenose; made for a nice secure connection before soldering.They seem looser on the Philco. Probably just me, I'm sure. Icon_shh
