I recently bought an HQ-170A at a hamfest.  It’s in good condition but has the well-known frequency drift in spades.  I’ve read comments about the instability of both the capacitors and inductors in the oscillator section.  Would some new high-quality capacitors help and if so, which ones?  Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.
