Are you planning to re-stuff the bakelite block caps?
There are lots of those condenser blocks in a model 15 from looking at the Riders. I never saw a set from that era with two speakers either.
I recently restored a Philco 38-3 that had 8 blocks, 27 wax caps, 4 electrolytics, more than a few way-off resistors, yet only one 6K7 of the 9 tubes was weak.

Restoring a Philco radio is a ton of work, so I wonder what we should be charging for it too little $$$ and the customer thinks that's all its worth, too much and you unknowingly sold a service agreement so everytime something is not quite right, you're put on the spot.
