 One piece of advice though, you may want to fabricate a new battery cable if you intend to operate this set on a regular basis, the original cable looks like the same crappy rubber/gutta percha wire that the U.S Philcos used to use in that era, I'm not sure about the wiring in the IF cans or the rest of the set. Yes, you can restuff the capacitors, in fact that would be a nice touch, and check the values of the carbon comp resistors whilst you are at it. One thing to watch on any battery set are the grid caps and the grid cap leads, the wire sometimes breaks down or the solder joints need touching up on both. The schematic for this set should be in the Radio College manuals should you need one, I don't have many manuals specifically for Canadian built Philcos, most cross reference but some don't.
