RCA XL-100 tuner issues - Pictures

If it is a varactor tuner the fine tuning will be a pot, but if it is a LC tuned turret tuner the fine tuning will be a cap or a slug in a coil.

Also could you please use smaller pictures in your next post? On my phone and laptop the pictures are so big I have to either scroll horizontally to read (which is a pain) or zoom out so far the text becomes REALLY tiny.

I have no idea what kind of tuner it is. I ordered the Sam's but it's not supposed to be in for several days yet. All I know is that it's turning something inside a separate metal casing that is part of the tuner. I can see it rotating visibly, and I have cleaned it.

I don't think this is a problem with Fine Tuning - The fact the channels are dozens out and there's no static on ANY VHF channels should indicate something else is wrong, should it not?

I'm using a phone to take the pictures and I'm uploading them to a file sharing service in their source resolution. They look fine on both my phone screen and my desktop computer, the text is readable and I don't even have the option to scroll horizontally.

The tuner is a conventional wafer type.
Since the VHF osc isnt used in UHF odds are the VHF osc transistor
is bad. Changing it is usually a bitch. My hands were never steady enuf
to do it. I wouldt try unless I found an OEM anyhows. The chassis
was super common so finding a tuner may not be hard.
