Another thought: Maybe the driver is not seeing the oscillator and breaks into oscillation at max gain. Check that the oscillator is working. Pull the oscillator tube and see if it does the same thing. Be sure the VFO is outputting several volts at the correct frequency, that the crystal/VFO switch is in the VFO position (don't ask me how I know), That the crystal/VFO switch is working. Check that you have adequate drive to the driver grid. Good luck.
