I've posted this on ARF also. Figure I'll see if those on both sites may know something I obviously don't.

Well, this isn't a big issue. But it annoys me at times. Right around 7/mc it starts to motorboat depending how much antenna is connected. I've tried using a weak 6A7 for less gain, this helped but, it still persist. The vid kind of tells the story. All caps and any out of tolerance resistors have been replaced. Set plays fine other than this. Also, it only occurs from about 6.5/mc straight up to 7.5/mc. No other band does this occur.

So, what do you guys think? Thanks gents.
