Chris, take a look at this link for a method for accessing those buried caps. Using this method avoids the exhaustive means of disassembly described by others.

My sincere thanks to go John, K9UWA, for devising and posting this technique. I've used it on several sets with no surprises. It looks intimidating, and the intimidation caused me to put my 37-11 on the shelf for a month or so. Once I got started, though, the process was straightforward. If I, as a registered Klutz, was able to do it then you will surely succeed. Read the instructions several times and note the advice specific to the 37-116. Create enough space to work and you'll be fine.
