Did you check the resistors in the circuit and the fixed micas as well? Recapping a set fixes a lot of problems but paper caps aren't the only part that fails. It's rare to have a problem with a trimmer cap unless someone physically mangled the thing. They probably don't list a value for the trimmer for that reason, they just don't go bad on their own.
