Was it the increase to 100uf or the replaced resistor that reduced the thumping?

The three transistors in the oscillator will/should have fluctuating voltages, as that is the function of the circuit. What I would look for is any modulation of the 8 volt supplies being caused by the oscillator circuit.

Kustom used 1% resistors not only for the value matching, but also for the fact that they are low noise metal film resistors.

Exactly how bad is the thumping?
