Make sure you take a lot of large file photos detailing the underside of the chassis. I am pretty sure you need to pay close attention to the position of the cap you are replacing.
The tech I know has a fantastic setup for working on these. Essentially looks like a captial H with the chassis the bridge between the two columns mounted constructed with plywood and rotatable. The chassis is mounted to the columns. Somewhere I came across somthing similar that you could purchase online but you could build something similar if you wanted.
Either way take it slow and be careful around those angel hair wires!
Edit-
Heres a chassis cradle sold by Steve Strong of the Oklahoma Vintage Radio Club. It says he offers two sizes; small $37.50 & large 55.00 plus shipping. Email

No affiliation but thought it might be helpful if you don't want to construct your own.
