Replace the mica caps with current or near current silver micas. No foolproof cost effective method that I know of will rout out the problems other than complete shorts or opens. I also believe that all elderly carbon resistors be replaced at the same time as the recap job is done. Once you eliminate these possible points of failure, the restoration becomes less complex. Others may disagree.
