Can't see pics either. Some thoughts: I've had decent luck resoldering the leads on RCA rivet destructomatic speakers with the exception of those on a certain RCA CTC-7 Sanford one of the posters here is familiar with....Had to swap a different speaker in for that one.
Restuffing caps isn't bad with one method especially if there's a cardboard cover over the can...If it exists slip it off, cut the can off around an inch above chassis leaving the bottom wired and undisturbed, make sure the base is gutted and clean, drill as many small holes as there are sections plus one for negative through the insulative base wafer in locations that facilitate connection to the appropriate terminals, wire in the new cap bundle, slip the cardboard sleeve over the can base to hide it or use aluminum foil backed ducT tape to reattach the gutted can top over the lytics. Unwiring is too much hassle compared to underneath replacement, and anything involving uncrimping the bottom of the can is far too much an excercise of inadvertently repeatedly stabbing your own hands for me to ever do it again.
I think I have only seen one other Philco clone that old and it was in the hands of collosal flake Nate Craig.
