Hi Dan,
I would take a stab at Cap # 6 and resistor #5. More modern sets have tuning caps where the oscillator section has a proportionately lower capacity than the RF section. I am guessing that if Cap # 6 leaks or has a higher than stated (or lower than stated?) capacity, you will not be able to get the oscillator to track correctly, no matter how much you adjust the compensators (trimmers).
Hope this helps.
