Looking forward to some more work on this today. First off, to isolate the source of noise once and for all. I have a cunning plan to (temporarily) isolate the last IF stage and take the voltage off the suspect transformer. I could then inject modulated 455kHz through the transformerpirimary which should be detected without noise in this configuration, unless the source is another component.
