Well, I re-checked my work and I couldn't find anything miswired. However, I have a question: the caps I replaced were all mica units (the dipped ones with the little paint stripes to indicate their values). The ones I replaced were 1500pF, and I don't have micas at that value, so I used polypropylene film caps. I thought I remembered reading something a long time ago that said while capacitances may be the same, mica capacitors behave differently. Is there any truth to this?
