glad you got if fixed up. If you ever need tuner repaired, there is a guy in Longview texax, "Quality Tuner Service", his name is Louis Stangle and hes and older guy at 67 and worked for sarkies tarzan and oak industries back in the 60s. He knows the old tuners really well. Hes fixed up some for me and always did a nice job. He's has a website too, just google in his name or QTS. Hes cheap too, $25 for a rebuild. I think hes the only guy left in the world who rebuilds/aligns tuners.

By the way, I find lots of intermittent signal problems due to poor connections at the IF tube sockets. For some reason those wafer sockets are not the greatest. Time after time I'll pull an IF, put it back in and the set has blank or intermittent raster or other problem. Regardless of the condition of the chassis, it seems to be common. I give those sockets a little shot of control cleaner and it takes care of the problem. Probably unrelated to what you were dealing with, but thought Id share anyway. Then again, Im sure most of you guys know about it already.
