I had a similar problem on an old kenwood. it was caused by the power lead i put in for the tone board.
use rg174 for power and signal. ground the shield on only one end .. unless both ends help..
It could be caused by where your wires run past other audio componenets on the boards.
try moving the tone board around as a test function. You may need some shield between it and other components. ..
