Jerry, I just worked on a 37-630 with the same impossible two caps located deep in the RF section. What I was able to do was see the ends of the two caps where they connect to the tube socket. The other end of those caps both connect to ground. Once I figured out which was the .05 and the other a .1 I just cut the ends closest to the tube off and carefully soldered my new caps to the original tube connections. I couldn't see the grounded ends to snip so those old caps are still in there for decoration. My new caps were then grounded along the side shield close to the tube's connections. It was tight but it worked. I couldn't stomach taking the RF deck apart. Good luck!
