There is one block in the upper chassis of the 38-690 that absolutely should NOT be touched! It is part (97), and does not contain any capacitors, but instead a coil which is the set's 10 kc audio filter. Unpot that, and you may destroy that coil. That block is part no. 32-2752.

The other two are conventional bakelite block caps, and should be unpotted and the inside replaced with new caps.
