Tim,
That certainly sounds like a bad solder connection or an unsoldered one to me.
Look in the BFO area first if it effects the filter passband, otherwise the VCO area is another possible candidate for suspicion. Yes, even in something that has been working for almost 6 years, an unsoldered connection can still be the source of a problem.
Use the schematic and parts placement diagrams in the manual to locate the questionable components.
