Looks like there are 3 bakelite block caps in the 38-116 , part # 145 a 3793DG, part#131 a 4899DG and part# 64 a 4989SG unless I missed one. I didn't check the code 125 version.
If you have a 37-116 it looks like there are seven. Part# 65, 72, 79, 84, 90, 116 and 131.
If you are concerned about how difficult it is to recap the bakelites, its not really that hard. Here are two excellent tutorials. One from morzh on this web site and one from Philco Repair Bench. Ron has also posted data on the bakelite blocks in the Philco Service Bulletin No. 289.
There are other folks on this site who have worked on either of those and can better speak to how hard or easy it is to access all the caps.
