Philco 95 Lowboy
#13

 The model 111 uses a Superheterodyne circuit, with an automatic gain control style volume control, the model 95 uses a TRF circuit and does not have an AGC style volume control. I'm not sure how easily the top of the condenser can can be removed though if you can pry the top up enough to expose the wires above the terminal board you should be able to clip them off. With some of these can a minor amount of heating will allow the block of condensers to slide out as they used a lining inside the can, I think you can do the with the 111, 112, 115 can but not sure about the model 95. With some you have to drill a hole into one of the condensers, drive a large screw into that condenser, then heat the can to soften the wax and tar to loosen things. Once you get that one condenser with the screw driven in extracted the rest will almost fall out. 
 Those schematics I linked to have the parts values for the condenser cans and resistors marked on them, for the early and the late versions of the model 95.

Arran
