Matthias, are the units all over in the same thermal environment when you test 
them? 

A period of 150s or so in a wobble sounds like a not perfectly damped thermal 
cycle time of a lightweight oven or lamp.

Reminds me a little of the unit to unit variation in HP Wien Bridge oscillator 
amplitude stability (also a lamp!)
