Hey Phil! Color is a lot of fun, but a PITA sometimes. The best thing to do with the tuner is take it out of the set if the cover can't be popped off and access made to the inside. The best way I found to clean the tuner on a color set is to spray the de oxit in very small amounts on the contacts trying not to spray anything else, or use a Q-tip or something. Don't forget to lube the contacts with fader lube or tuner cleaner w/ lube if your de oxit doesn't have a lube in it, there's several different kinds I have found. You might be able to use just some tv tuner cleaner/ lube if it's not real dirty. I only do the de oxit and then lube two step method on really bad ones or Space command sets where I don't want to have to get up and fiddle with it after using the remote. The reason to be so tidy in there is to prevent tuner drift, that spray can wreak havok on a tuner if sprayed all over. I did it once, it sucked bad. The sound sounds like the usual failed part somewhere and that could be a lot of things, maybe someone more familiar with the 11 will chime in. The HV lead can be taped inside of a glass cup or jar but I haven't done it myself. I just hook up a half dead tube I have laying around, crude but works. I hope this helps.
