I just restored a very similar radio (Philco 86) and it
had the same decoupling R-C networks (qty 3).
I chose to be pro-active and replace all three. I actually
removed them and replaced them with modern
100 Ohm resistors and modern 0.1 uF caps.
I saved the originals. Some day I may see if I can
clean out the center part where the old cap is and
replace it with a new cap. That would be the
best way to preserve the original "look".
