I wish I had a KIWA Loop to have a problem with! Good luck with yours.

It's dirty/noisy potentiometers that are likely the problem. Probably
either the lubricant has dried out and alcohol might re-liquefy it, but
better to use some DeoxIT, as this will re-lube and clean them.
There are no tuning capacitors in a Kiwa loop. All tuning is done at the
loop-head using varactor diodes.
