The best way? Disassembly. Icon_twisted

But seriously...I have found that disassembly is the only way I can get to all of those d**ned rubber-covered wires without taking a chance on breaking a terminal. (Yes, I have broken a couple band switch wafers on 41-250 et al. chassis.)

It also makes it slightly easier to replace that double silver mica cap with three legs, I think it is 370 pF? Anyway, I replace this double unit with two individual mica caps. The old one is almost always bad...it's only covered in wax, and this is ineffective in keeping moisture and other nasties out, as we all know.
