I've been slowly working my way through a 38-116 I acquired a couple months ago.  Item 65 in the parts list is an assembly of three capacitors (two 0.1 mfd and one 0.7 mfd).  This assembly is in a box mounted on top of the chassis (see photo).  I'm familiar with bakelite blocks but not this box.  Are the capacitors in this box potted as those in bakelite blocks are?  Are there any things I need to watch for if I remove this assembly from the chassis?  Can replacement capacitors be mounted under the chassis or are they boxed on top for shielding purposes?

Thanks for the help!
Larry
