junk micas

On my capehart 21n2 set everytime I put about 3-5 hours run time on it I lose an original mica or ceramic cap. Has anyone else had this kind of battle? So far I am up to about 9 mica caps and one ceramic with another ceramic that went out today. Some people have given me flack for the shot gun approach by putting in all new paper and electrolytic caps but we all have seen that for the most part they are bad by the time we get the set. But this will be the first radio that I am debateing replacing all mica and ceramic at once.
