Restoring my 37-116. It plays now!

I am looking at that beast of a radio and I feel that healthy rage building inside me. Like, c'mon, give your best punch. Preferably not an electrical one.
And I am sure there will be plenty of surprises.
Q: I had a good experience washing my 20 tuning cap in my dishwasher.
Has anyone washed the one from 38-116? I just want to make sure the material the cap is made of will lend itself safely to the procedure.
Q: What's a good way of removing the daughter chassis (I am sure I will figure it out but it's always good to be forewarned about possible traps and pitfalls.
BTW it feels springy and does not rattle like my other radios with grommet-padded tuning shelf so whatever dampens it may still be good.
