I restuff the Bakelite capacitors on every Philco that I restore. It's not hard, and is less work than installing terminal strips in their place; modern capacitors are small enough to fit inside. Watch out for the occasional Bakelite cap that has two inside, or one cap and a resistor. The tone control capacitors can also easily be rebuilt.
