Have you replaced all the other capacitors? Are there any electrolytic or paper capacitors? Mica and ceramic capacitors are reliable, you're right, but electrolytic and paper caps are extremely unreliable and almost every old radio has them.

Also note that molded paper capacitors can look like dominoes just like some mica caps do. If a capacitor is specifically labeled "mica" then I'd be comfortable with it but if it looks like a domino, I wouldn't be.
