Used K1 Has Issues - Need Advise

Tony-3
All:

I purchased a used K1 which looks to be in great shape, but it does have
a few issues. The first is that it produces distortion on 30 meters with
side-bands that appear across the spectrum. There's no distortion on 20
or 40 meters so the condition is unique to 30 meters.

The other issue is with 17 meters. I measured 8 watts output on this
band (external watt-meter) but the signal does not show up anywhere on
the 17 meter band. The receiver appear to be working, but it's not
receiving 17 meter signals.

I'm hoping these are minor issues that someone on the reflector maybe
familiar with. The rig ( s/n 554 ) appears to be in excellent shape
inside and out and the build quality is very good.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
