Question antilock? brake problem 97 E-150

1997 E-150 with a 4.6 liter & 4 wheel anti-lock brakes. Occasionally under light braking pressure at low speeds (<10 mph) when I step on the brakes the pedal doesn't go down. I can hear a noise (something like the antilocks kicking in) and if I release the pedal and press the brake again everything is normal.

Anyone with any ideas

You should be able to feel the antilocks pulsate if they are working. How is the master cylinder and the power booster?

last winter the anti-locks worked fine, don't recall them being activated since then, the master cylinder and power booster are original, I have not really done any inspection on them yet. I'll give the antilocks a test to see what happens.
