Figured it out and got it fixed. It was the cap. Not sure which one
yet as I took them both out and replaced them with a couple caps from a
homebrew tuner I had. Loaded 500 watts into it and was steady for about
30 seconds or so. Before after about 5 seconds the SWR would start to
climb.
One thing I did notice when I took the caps out was that one of them
turned a whole lot easier than the other one did. I'm thinking maybe
that set screw at the end of the cap may need tightening. There's a lock
nut that holds the screw so may loosen that and tighten up the drag a
bit and see it that don't help. 73

Hi Tom
Did you disconnect the part leading from c103 and the link coil to the switch?
If not, then c103, the link coil and the trio of capacitors on the input would
still be in the circuit.
