They can be fixed, Philament. There are procedures on how to do this in various places around the Net. The biggest concern is finding the proper values of mica capacitors to use as replacements for the old, bad mica wafers inside the IF cans. Usually involves measuring the wafers with a capacitance meter if the capacity isn't marked on the schematic (and it usually isn't in the case of Philcos).
