I'm restoring a dirty SX-101A.
It has very strong wideband noise approx every 5 KHz on every band.
I can't quite isolate it.  Logic tells me it's in the 1st LO.

Waveform from LO looks kinda non-sinusoidal- almost trigangular.  harmonics 
mixing it up?
Checked tube, grounds, components, but nothing obvious.

Anyone seen this before?
