Counters in Corsair IIs have problems with dried out electrolytics
bypassing and maybe coupling on the counter board. Their counter is a
microprocessor chip, so also supplies the keyer function. I'd suggest
board grounds if they come from mounting screws are a problem in all
radios. Regularly (every few years) tightening the board mounting screws
cures many ills.
