Indeed, they are usually perfectly OK but there has been some disturbing reports of later one, 60s and 70s, failing.
I have very rarely had to replace any in pre war sets or stuff from the 50s'
They are in the tuned circuits in the set front end and the problem if you do change them is that the alignment will be all over the shop afterwards, probably for no good reason.
So I will reiterate, no CCC.
