Just to make you feel better, I have a K100-2 with the same thumping tremolo issue ( thats why I got it for 20 bucks) and since I have two of them the one with this problem has been side linged for a good while.
When you put up your post about your amps trem issue I pulled out my problem K100-2 and dove back into the circuit 2 nights ago.
Since it seemed the problem was in more than likly to be in the osc the first thing I did was replace / shot gun the 4 transisors and all the electro caps from the foot switch jack on back thru the circuit and got no change, then it was O scope time.
With my scope I could see the + 8 volt rail being modulated by what ever is producing the voltage pump, and at that point my 40 year old scope gave uo the Ghost, so now its electrolyltic replacement time for that first before I get back to sniffin out my K100 more!
