Are all these things on a common power supply? (i.e all the red wires go
to one spot). You might want to try bypass caps on the immediate inside
and outside where the PS lead goes through the shield to the keyer, and a
couple twists around a toroid wouldn't hurt either. Then again it almost
sounds like a capacitive problem (charges up and goes nuts, after
discharge it's ok). I'm not familiar with the timing circuit on an 8044
but you could be swamping one of the timing caps. I know it's not much
help but it might jog someones memory. Just think what it would be like
if you were QRO :)
