I have a 1932 Philco cathedral (the model escapes me), that essentially worked as found. It had no hum, but the audio/reception was weak and VERY distorted. Restuffing the block caps returned it to working like new.

The last Philco, I restored, I restuffed the bakelite caps. It turned out real great. I used a heat gun to heat them. I looks like tar, but it is a high temp potting. It came out as a chunk, instead of being a liquid form. |

I usually just stab a screwdriver into the tar and twist/scrape (and pry at the caps/resistors when I reach them). The tar is so soft and brittle I can make quick albeit messy work of them that way.
