Thanks for the encouragement guys!
A few more updates:
Shadow Meter
[Image: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4826/4425...0f70_z.jpg]
Interesting that it's branded Westinghouse - perhaps it has been replaced? Or did Philco not manufacture the early shadow meters themselves?
Either way it still works.
Tone Control
Rebuilt - soldered on a 2-pos terminal strip to anchor the caps and used heatshrink on the wires.

Chassis Derust
Cleaned up with naval jelly (it's a bit too cold in the garage now for Evaporust gel).
I also replaced the rubber tuner support with http://www.renovatedradios.com/product.php?product=321

Speaker Derust
Naval jelly applied with a small paintbrush.

Not sure if I'll put back the cloth since it's rusty and seems to be a moisture magnet.
