I will try to get something down there for manual cleaning. Maybe a long forceps or tweezers holding a tiny fold of lint-free cloth. I can also inspect to see if one wafer has been nudged out and un-keyed from position.

If this cure works on my dollar TV, I'll repeat it on my "good" CTC-11.

Maybe I can ID which tuner I have, too. Sams shows various flavors of this chassis: A, B, etc. I don't know if the A-B-C-etc. signifies electronic differences on the main chassis or just different options for tuner & remote.

This set is plain Jane: no UHF, no remote. The model number on the back is 212F752MV, not listed on the front page of Sams, although when I looked it up on samswebsite.com, I was referred to the same Sams, set 550 folder 2. I guess some of that model number refers to cabinet style, color, & whatnot.
