HI Jerry,
This post talks about the RF subchassis and the caps mounted inside.
http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=15

I had to do a 38-3 which has an RF unit, but not sure if it was as tight as your set.
Having to work with long nosed pliers, hemostats, I was able to recap them.

I couldn't find a photo of the underside of your chassis, can you post a photo just to see what you are up against?

Good luck.
