I recapped Bakelite blocks for the first time recently. Easy-peasy. Straightforward may be a better word to describe it. The hardest part is keeping track of the wiring to the block. I make a sketch of all wiring removed from the block to eliminate any miswiring. Also, make sure you know how the block is wired internally before disassembly. The Philco Repairbench has the resources you need to identify the wiring inside the block.
