I suspect it's another issue - something heat related. Perhaps a power resistor is going bad or a leaky capacitor. Have you replaced any ?

I popped out the old cap out of the coil and stuck a new one inside. After reading the comments from more experienced radios guys, I doubt it's necessary at all. It purpose seems to be to filter out noise from a source that no longer exists.
