Well, back with the candohm update.  I replaced it with two 5 watt resistors, and it doesn't seem to get too warm.  I decided to replace the 35Z3 rectifier since the voltage was a hair over 6 volts across the pilot light when I was putting in 100 volts with the variac.   Now it shows 4.7 volts across the pilot light after putting in a new rectifier tube when I crank variac up to 120 volts. 

I let it play for about 30 minutes and no problems.  I guess the rectifier must have had a issue, but all is good now.  I wonder how one would track down this problem if a usually problematic candohom wasn't involved.

Time for working on the case and making it look nice.

John
