Eric,

You hit it on the head: you have a worn AFM. The fluttering is caused by
the worn AFM tracks. The capacitor fix generally won't fix an AFM that is
this worn.

The AFM wiper should be fairly steady at higher the idle speeds. There can
be a little fluttering at idle.

You need a new or rebuilt AFM. I don't have any suggestions on sources,
since my AFM "expertise" is only 1986 and above.
