It can be a real nuisance to work on a Philco after the cap blocks have been eliminated. The layout diagrams are no longer valid and the workmanship is sacrificed with flying joints that aren't supported. It only takes 2-3 minutes to completely re-stuff a block once you learn how.

Whenever I see a weather-beaten pre-war Philco, I'll buy it just for the spare blocks.
