Hello,
I recollect that I had to desolder under the chassis. I tried to lift it, but the cables weren't enough. This block of capacitors has this gap and if the wires are not long enough to cut, you can damage the block. I would try.
It depends on the block models. I was able to do this job with the Philco 86 and 95 models. With the 511 model, I had to desolder under the chassis.
Another thing: These blocks carry capacitors with a maximum capacity of 5 uf. I put them "NON-ELECTROLYTIC".
To remove the tar: Boil the block for approximately 15 minutes. They leave without any problem.
Luck !!!
