Ken, I replaced this cap when I restored my 37-650. If you got the schematic and service notes from Chuck Schwark, it gives the instructions on how to get the RF section out. It was easier than it looked. Icon_surprised I thought for sure that I would make a mess of it, but Philco knew what they were doing when they published the instructions. Just label where the wires come out of there and where they go on the chassis. This will also give you a chance to replace the rest of the caps in the RF. Believe me, the performance enhancement is worth it!
