I have also seen decreases in carbon resistors values due to cracking/arcing/grunge deposits. Replace the carbon resistors, they're cheap enough. Don't think that's your primary problem, though, assuming you have replaced all the filter and paper caps, sounds like a short in the wiring or a tube. Post a schematic or link with your findings and we'll take a look.
