hello. i'm doing my first recap of a telefunken gavotte 8u. do i need to remove the cover of the fm rf sub chassis to replace any of the capacitors inside? if so, how do i remove the cover? there appear to be two small nuts under the chassis. do i remove those to remove the cover? if there's nothing inside i need to replace or test routinely, perhaps i'll leave it alone.

also, what is the advisability of replacing the selenium rectifier(s) with solid-state rectifier diodes?

thank you. happy holidays. all best...

p.s. i wanted to add that i currently own 2 unrefurbished gavottes (8u and 9) and i owned another in the early 1970s, and i've always been so impressed with the well-balanced, beautiful sound of these middle-value radios. i've always owned the types with the bass, solo, soft and jazz button tone controls, and have been very pleased with what they do.
