Philco Seventeener III Electrolytic Access?

[Jon1967us]

Wondering if anyone has experience in replacing lytics on the Philco briefcase models. Apparently, they are located between the CRT and the chassis, and seemingly, there's no way to access them without completely disassembling the whole tamale, which includes disconnecting the picture tube and the speaker. Not very service friendly!

Does anyone know if there's an easier way? I'd hate to break down the set completely as I'd like to avoid damaging components, etc.
