"Flaky C-31 is a very common occurrence. You might try some contact cleaner
down inside it and rotate it back and forth to scrub it. If that doesn't
make it smooth, it needs changing."
*I took Phil's advise. I put some contact cleaner on the end of a Q-tip,
then set it on top of C31 for a couple minutes. I did not soak the
capacitor but I'm sure some got down in there. After removing the Q-tip, I
exercised the capacitor several times. C31 feels much smoother now and I
found that I could get the readout to within 13Hz of WWV without the PLL
dropping out as before when I tried to adjust C31. Hopefully this remedy
removed the corrosion or whatever and will last a while.*

*I'd like to thank everyone that replied to my original plea for help.
Once again, this mailing list has proved itself invaluable!*
