Dave, I had assumed that you were injecting video.

Two simple checks that you might do prior to twisting coils:

Back in the pre-Cable era, before grounded feed lines, the tuner balun coils often failed. You might verify the continuity of them. An open antenna-side coil will often work quite well, but it may produce a ghost.

Also, I presume that this set has an FM radio. Many console FM radios offered the option of an internal antenna for local reception, plus a jumper to connect to the VHF TV antenna for fringe reception. I've seen set owners forget to disable the internal FM antenna when using an external antenna and this can also create a single negative picture ghost.

Jas.
