It could still be the IF cable - the shield wire will open and cause problems. A simple sup of the cable might be easier than tearing into a tuner.

IF Cables were on our "save" list when junking a set - they were a savior many times. Maggies and Zeniths seemed to eat them - most likely the flexing from pulling the chassis or dropping the tuner to clean it.
