Took some patience.
One single cap I was not able to ground to the point where it was grounded originally, so I grounded it to the font part of the chassis.
One cap had a wire going inside jeld by a metal retainer I had to unbend and then bend back when I reinstalled the cap, usign a thick metal hook.
That was it.
No walk in the park, no, but no horrors either. Unless you choose to make it a horor yourself.
Just a big chassis with an RF section.
There are two caps that I can't even fathom how you go to without taking it out. They are literally surrounded by coils.
Without taking the chassis out and removing the sides, you can barely even see them. Here is the approximate view (and about the only access point you would have had) if you didn't take out the RF chassis. You can barely see the end of the cap, as it is covered in coils and trimmers. If by some miracle, you could clip the lead on the visible end, I can't see how you would have got to the other end (that goes to a ground lug).
Even getting at it with the chassis removed, so don't really have any better access to it. This is a shot from the side, with the sides of the chassis removed. It's still pretty much inaccessible.
There is another cap in pretty much the exact same location in the bay next to it. I can't figure out any way to clip out the old one, let alone even get my soldering iron in there to apply the new one.
I'm open to any suggestion on how to tackle this one (and the one just like it in the next bay). I have far more access than you did right now, so it should be even easier for me to do it.
