The schematic and the parts list on NostalgiaAir states that there are three electrolytic cans or containers. One contains a 40 and a 10 mfd., which is the usual filter capacitor arrangement.

Then there are supposed to be TWO 15 mfd. capacitors used in a voltage doubler circuit. Is the other 15 mfd. cap there, too? Was somebody in there before you and took it out and modified the circuit perhaps back to a more usual straight rectifier one? Or is it possible that Philco changed in the middle of the run to a "can" with two 15 mfd. caps in it? How is the 15mfd. can marked?
