one of the caps in it has failed?
Good chance!
I would pop the cover off of the IF transformer,chop out the two caps inside. Reinstall cover and solder replacement caps at the bottom terminals. You may have to experiment a bit to find the proper value but it's probably between 75-125mmf. I'd start with 100mmf and see if I can get a peak by adjusting the slugs. They say it's a virtue!!!
