In a word: capacitors. Drifted, shorted, or open caps in the power supply will cause ripple in the B+ voltages, and in other circuits cause oscilators to run at the wrong frequencies (if they run at all). At a minimum I always replace power supply electrolytics first, then move on to the other circuits.
