I've been to the Extravaganza meet a few times, and it is quite an impressive event.
I have a Philco 40-150 (IIRC) that still works on the original caps. With how cramped it is and how rarely I use it I decided to leave it original.
The smaller table sets Zenith and Philco made in that period had VERY cramped difficult to work on chassis IMO....The rubber wire is another thing that ticks me off.
A tip on the recap is to leave long enough lead lengths on the new caps that you can move them around a good ways in case there is something beneath them that you need to make room to work on.
I recommend a set with a more open under chassis layout for a first recap as it is easier to trace the wiring against the schematic if you make a mistake.
