I've had luck taking them out of the can, removing the mica caps from the circuit by lifting the spring loaded contact to each cap then solder in a 50-60pf cap to each winding. You have nothing to lose and it's not too difficult if you're careful and mark your trail. Pay attention to the position of the transformer primary and secondary inside the can and how it's mounted on the chassis.
