Default HQ 140X BFO

I have an old HQ140x I bought non working and after replacing the filter
andvarious other caps and a couple tubes, its up and running. I realigned
the RF section to good effect but I'm suspicious the BFO isn't working quite
right. I've replaced the suspect looking caps in the BFO can with orange
drops and it works but it's a lot trickier tuning in SSB than on my HQ129x
and strong CW signals seem to overload it easily. Any ideas? Thanks.
