Thanks for your input! I don't have another Philco cathedral to compare mine to, so I'm not sure how they are supposed to sound. I'm no expert on speakers, but based on what you're saying, the reconing probably didn't affect things that much.
Good idea on subbing caps around. The 42 has a .01 from its plate to ground, and IIRC the tone control switches in a .1. So maybe a .047 is what I need to find that "sweet spot."
Thanks,
