On the larger Philcos such as your 37-630 and bigger, Philco stuck a couple .05 uF caps in between bandswitch sections. It's a pain, but the easiest way I have found to service these is to (groan) remove and disassemble the RF sub-chassis so that you may more easily reach those "hidden" caps. Icon_mad

Personally, I think David Grimes, the inventor of Philco's "Unit Construction," should be punished by being forced to actually service a dozen or so of his RF decks. Icon_twisted
