Unstable lock

I seem to have developed a lock problem with our Bruker AMX(2)-600. I
couldn't obtain a stable lock while doing a routine line shape on our 5-mm
TBI probe with 1% CHCl3 in acetone-d6. I switched to 3% CHCl3 with the
same results. The lock power and gain are with in nornal limits so I am
not saturating the standard. If I use a 80% benzene in acetone-6 we do not
seem to have this problem. The spinner is off, the air flow down and we are
using a ceramic spinner so I don't think the sample is moving. Any insight
would be helpful.
