That was some good potting compound they used. They claim that the caps were vacuum impregnated. The best system ever devised.
I find using a little heat, makes the potting pop right out. I use a H-F heat gun, set on low, hot enough for the job.
The caps are remarkably good, considering their age, proving that Philco was ahead of their time.
They still can't be trusted.
