Default What happens to old FM radios?

Many radio's suffer from alignment problems as they get older. This applies
to digital models also, but not so much, since they have fewer adjustments
and are somewhat self-compensating. Station frequency, for example, won't
drift, but component values do somewhat, meaning VCO and discriminator
alignments may need to be re-done.


I probably won't do that, these sets are selled by the dozen, but out
of curiousity: what components values can drift with age?
