I've never had to drill out any rivets when rebuilding the large multi-section filter caps on any Philco, whether it be a 16, 17, 20 or any of the large older 1928-1931 chassis. The bottom cover usually pulls right off; it is a metal frame that has a terminal board riveted to it.

Sorry about the missing pictures. I will try to correct that this weekend.
