Tonight I took apart the tuning cap gear, which worked fine, but I figured it would be all gunky inside, which it was.
It took me 5 minutes to remember how to get the gear back together, after I had cleaned and re-lubricated .
the whole thing.
Then I measured the Candohm, the 133/15 Ohm part. The 133 resistor alone should be dissipating 11-12W.
This is probably why this Candohm is bad. The 133 Ohm is 190 Ohm, and 15 Ohm is 109 Ohm.
I decided that I will use 8.3uF cap to sub for the resistor (did that in the past) and then use a resistor for the 15 Ohm. This will save me power dissipation, and I do not need the DC performance.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
