You mentioned a resistor had been wired into the circuit but was on the topside of the chassis? And that the insulation was not well protected?
Maybe there are other 'presents' like that? Wires or solder connections close enough together that might cause an intermittent short if moved slightly?
I'm just guessing.
I would suggest replacing all of the electrolytics and wax coated caps. Add in the ceramic and mica's you are finding bad and that's just about all of them!
