The 100pg caps are built in to the paxolin squares (photos attached). They are attached to the top of the four wire pillars running up the IF transformer. To remove the built in caps the square has to be removed. Then the built in caps are dealt with by carefully slotting with a small saw. After all the conducting pieces have been removed, the paxolin square is re-fitted. It is needed to make the IF transformer mechanically stable. The modern 100pf caps are soldered to the pilers just below the square.
