Default Servo Crosstalk - any ideas?

Hello everyone. Great site you all have here. Well, on to the post.

I'm putting together a Phoenix Classic RTF after crashing my first one. I salvaged all the electronics but had to buy a new crystal for the RX, a JR R700 @ 36MHz. The circuit board popped out of the case a little bit on impact, so the RX took a fair bit of a shock. Everything seems to work ok, but I have noticed movement in unrelated servos when I push the throttle up or the ailerons to starboard. When throttling up, the rudder flutters and when rolling clockwise (right wing down) the throttle flutters. When I say 'flutters' I don't mean the affected servos sit there hunting or twitching, but they are displaced from their nominal position according to a regular pattern as the throttle (for example) is opened up, then as the throttle (for example) is closed, the affected servo follows the same interference path, but in reverse.

I haven't flown the plane yet, but displacement of the rudder is up to 1 degree to starboard, easily enough (I would imagine) to affect flight.

Any suggestions as to the cause? Or maybe I should go for a new receiver.
