The damage to the CRT anchoring point has nothing to do with the image size issue. |

Cabinet damage means the set took a good lickin. Thats why I said
to give the main PCB a look for cracks. Especially at the mounting lugs & the flyback. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

First step on any noisy tuner issue should always be clean the contacts. You should not need to remove the whole tuner from the cabinet or any wires from the tuner. Most sets made it so that you could unclip and remove the tuner shield and clean the contacts with the tuner still mounted and connected. There is a front and back to the tuner that the shaft passes through and a "top" that the wires connect to(some tuners are mounted upside down or other wacky ways so "top" is not always pointing up)...The removable shield typically comprises the bottom and sides of the tuner. It usually clips into the top. To remove pinch the sides inwards near their centers at their upper edge where they meet the "top" and pull down after you've started to pinch while still pinching...The shield should slide off. After that identify the contacts and start spraying cleaner and spinning the knob...If there is lots of room around the contacts I like to stick a soft white pencil eraser in there and let the contacts brush against it...This alone will help but if you do it while they are wet with contact cleaner you will be impressed with how much tarnish it will remove.

It may be true that his tuner is dirty, but it wasn't I who initially suggested that the RF amplifier transistor may be blown. |

If what I see as bad advice is given I will attempt to correct it (or improve the advice given) no matter who gives it, starts it, or contributes to it...If you happen to be caught up in the giving of bad advice that is not my fault. And you have no right to tell me where and how I can put my two cents in on an issue as long as I am abiding by the rules of VK. I will try to sound more respectful going forward...But bear in mind we ALL get correct by other VK'ers from time to time, and unless someone explicitly calls you a big dummy that is likely NOT even a tiny part of their goal in offering what they see as the correct information to those reading.
