If the arcing is at the tune cap. (and/or bandswitch), and not at the 
load cap., it could be a  an intermittent osc. at c. 95MHz.  To find out 
if it was a parasite, measure the value of the VHF parasitic suppressor 
resistors.  Much increased ohms with no outward sign of damage indicates 
VHF energy payed a visit.
