Having just delt with a four band filter that acted that way, and having missed the previous discussion here, may I simply point out, that soldering is critical, especially around the toroids. I used three different coated wires, and found they were all tempermental.Careful pre tinning is needed. Reflowing helped with my intermittants too. Unfortunately, the board bounced. It is on the way back, and will require closer inspection. (I plan to use at a minimum 30X glass)Good luck,
