OK, some progress here. The recipe on the Zenith electrolytic was to put it into the oven for about 20-25 minutes @ 250F. The tar softened and the cardboard pulled off neatly.

and the recapping has begun. I've elected not to try and restuff the paper caps since many are not zenith, the power resistor will be modern, the safety cap is hard to hide (that's one good thing about those Philco bakelite blocks!) and I'll be adding a fuse under there.
