Great pictures of that transformer base! I repaired an identical one in a '62 Philco FM chassis. The rivet gets drilled out very carefully, then the caps can be removed. I put new caps under the PC board, not in the can.

I suggest disconnecting coils and measuring the pf value before removing it. I got lucky because an ex-Philco VK'er provided me with the values, which are not on the Sams or the Philco schematic.
