Morzh, I totally recapped the radio, including all the bakelites. Arran, thanks for that information. That stuff is good to know and I'll file it away for future use.
The only thing I found that puzzles me is this..there was a pigtail mounted under one of the bakelite caps. It was an inch long, cut off, and I could find nothing that looked like it should go there. I don't know for sure if it was original or not, but it was mounted under a grounded bakelite cap. I assume that Philco would've just used the grounded lug off the cap....so, with that in mind, I guessed that it was left over from the previous attempt at repair. Still, it's puzzling.. why put a pigtail there, when a grounded lug is sticking out right above it?
