Hello all, I just had someone give me a Philco 48-472 to get working for them. I noticed there are some very hard to get to caps down under a bunch of other resistors and part of the tuning capacitor. has anyone ever re-capped one of these radios before? any suggestions on how to get them out safely? Also, a lot of the values on them are hard to get to to read. I was wondering if anyone had any schematic info with values so I can start ordering caps.

Also, (Sorry about the photo being blurry) but you should see a capacitor wrapped with a coil of black wire... i've never seen anything like it before. when I go to replace this, how would I go about doing it? because a modern capacitor isn't going to be that same shape as the old one...

Thanks!
