For service manuals, SAMS Technical Publishing should have the Photofact available in pdf form.

These ses used loctal tubes. If any are proven bad after recapping, replacements may be hard to find.
I have found some rubber covered wiring in Philco sets from this era. I just resleeved suspect wiring.
Philco also liked to use those evil micamold caps. Regular mylar caps will work fine. These sets will be loaded with bumblebee caps.
I believe this one may have a B- supply.
Your CRT may act dead on a tester. Let it cook. If you see a brightner, that could spell trouble.
Someone may have a junk cabinet which may have the missing hardware.

Philco sets from the period are good performers when fully recapped.
