Since my post yesterday, I have removed the chassis from the cabinet of my model 87.
I removed the bottom plate, and was surprised to find that the only component visable on the bottom side is one resistor. According to the schematic, there is a condenser block with 9 or 10 capacitors in it. There is a box on the underside about the size of an altoids can. which is soldered closed. Are the capacitors enclosed in this box? There are two black wires coming out of the box. There are no paper caps under the chassis. Any observations on this?

Thanks for any help,

Wendell
