The drift is probably temperature related. Maybe more cabinet ventilation for starters anyway. Is the drift always in the same direction? Does it abate after a while?

You can try putting in some negative temperature coefficient capacitors in the oscillator circuit. Sometimes there will be a bad solder joint, lousing up the oscillator tank Q.

You could get fancy and install a temperature control circuit.
