According to the article on the CR100 in Radio Bygones No 31 by George Grisdale (who was on the design team) besides the usual faults of dried up smoothing caps, etc, the bakelised linen tagboards can absorb moisture affecting the AVC action and wires running under the BFO screening box are a source of shorts.
I have a CR100 which had problems with shorting by crumbling rubber wiring when I first had it, I only use it for listening to broadcast stations, its still working well.
