Hi, If you scratch a little bit the wire of RFC toroïds on the SSB board... Just borrow from your wife and put a little bit of "red nail varnish" on the wire where you scratch it.... I did this and it prevents problem, and it works !!!

They are both quite stuck between the crystal and resistor pack. That would normally not be a problem, but allthough the manual says to 'try to avoid scrapping the wire', one of my RFC's apparently did not come through unscraped. After mounting and checking for continuity, I had the good sense to check for a short to the crystal can and Bingo! Shorted! I might have made some more room, if the manual had warned that the crystal and the resistor pack should have been soldered as far away from eachother as possible. I'm not sure, as this is my first KSB2. I'd rather not start messing with them now they are already in there. If it's just me, no problem, it's fixed. If it is more common, maybe it would be a good idea to have the manual check for shorts between the RFC and the crystal. I'm not sure how long it would have taken me to find this one if I hadn't done it right away. From the schematic I'd say it would have introduced some weird filter switching problems....
