OK. Your IF's are then susceptible to silver mica disease. This is most common in the AM IF transformers, but can also occur in the FM ones. I'm pretty sure there is a thread somewhere on here about repairing this. It involves opening up the IF cans, removing the old built in caps and replacing them with mica disc capacitors.
