Bob, I wish you well with that one.
I have worked on many Philips sets, some more difficult than others : Monknobs with pots that cant be replaced easily, the motor tuned with hundreds of parts but could never face a V5 or V7.
What a strange design it is and can never be made to look good inside however much effort you put into it. If I came across an original, untouched, I would just leave it that way. There is a story, maybe not true, that they left one or more IF cans off the transformer /s, and used the speaker magnet as screening of the item.
Please put up some pics
