49-905 Mica Disease-FOUND IT!
#8

Years ago I fixed one of these, by drilling out the rivet, removing the mica sheets and replacing the caps with external silver micas. It was a lot of work but it did solve the problem. I know of no other way, because any IF transformers of this type construction have or will have the problem in the future.

I believe they are referred to as K-tran IF transformers. Do a Google search and see if anyone has better solutions.

This is what they look like inside:
