Seeking Advice On How To Remove And Replace Capacitors In 37-641 Bakelite Assemblies
#1

Hello Everyone,
 I am seeking advice on how to properly remove and replace the capacitors in the bakelite block assemblies in a Philco 37-641 radio. The link below shows a diagram of the underside of the radio and I plan on doing capacitors 54, 57, 65, and 68 shown on the left. Any information or articles regarding the procedure would be appreciated. Thank you.
Tony
