Boater Sam;
Those black Bakelite objects you see in the under chassis photos are the original paper caps, the reason they were left is that Philco used these as tag/terminal strips in their U.S and Canadian sets for several years, at least up until 1936, removing them would have required installing tag strips. I'm not sure how many, if any, tubular paper caps would have been used in a model 71 chassis, since it was basically an updated version of a late model 70 with 6.3 volt tubes/valves rather then the older 2.5 volt variety.

Arran
