Default hq180a help

hi guys,
i'm in the process of restoring a 180a. tubes are good, i
changed the electrolytics. rcvr does need a bit of hf alignment but
works well now except for the last problem. so here it is...all
functions work well on the lower bands. when the 2 highest bands are
selected, triple conv. kicks in, am reception works well, but ssb & cw
does not. the ssb audio & the cw notes have a raspy or burbelly(for
want of a better word) sound. i can't understand why, because ssb &
cw work fine on lower bands. i have the bama prints, & poked around
checking resistance & voltages. can't find any far off. any help
would be greatly appreciated. it's a nice vy clean rig with clock &
noise blanker, i have matching spkr also. i want to set up an swl pos.
tnx pete k2iqk
