That's the 37-116 I recently finished.  Works great.  Everything I know I learned on this phorum, and trust me, I'm still learning from the experts here!!  The tubular caps are not hard to stuff with new film caps and I really don't like the looks of those bright yellow caps on the bottom side. So, I stuff those as well.  A little more work, but for me, more satisfying.  Here's the underside.  I like it better without all the yellow caps.  Just me, and a few others...
