There is a 10Mfd. bathtub capacitor in the audio driver B+ circuit.  This
has failed open, is this the usual failure mode of a bathtub capacitor?

The variable oscillator is VERY touchy to align.  Short term stability is
OK, but each time the box is turned on, the calibration is off a kc or so.
(I removed the reactance tube and disconnected the coupling cap to the
reactance circuit.)

Any ideas?
