Thanks, Marty! I did find a schematic for this, which should help a bit.
It's good to know that there are a few things that I probably don't need to replace. It was very nice of Philco to stamp each cap with is value and voltage rating. There appears to be about a dozen of them, some of which are under the tuning adjustment coils. I'll be careful not to alter these.
Are the electrolytic caps housed in the two tall circular cans that stick up from the top of the chassis?
