BINGO! Does the right angle adapter have Amphenol or a MIL-spec part 
number stamped into it?  If it doesn't, it's very likely to be JUNK. In 
Amphenol or MIL-spec connectors, the center conductor is robust; in 
those junk connectors, it's a tiny spring.

I removed that when I switched in the other amp and hadn’t bothered to reinstalled it  With that connector out of circuit the oscillations did not occur. I reinstalled the adapter and the problem returns. I can not get the problem to resurface by manhandling the cables or connectors.
