I have restored two Tandberg (Norwegian) radios from abt 1940 that used similar caps throughout the multiband RF and osc stages. Nearly every one was bad in a similar manner. Aargh!

Search on ebay and you'll probably be able to find something usable. Even those little modern plastic trimmers can be made to work here since there isn't any significant voltage to contend with.
