Hey guys! It's been a little while...
I took the TV to a local shop which has been in business since the fifties.
After a month and a half of waiting in line the old man figured out it was the tuner which is completely shot.
He wants $300 to either:
A) rebuild the tuner
B) sell me his beat up 70s "subtuner" (which is what he calls it)
now, i was able to find a TV tuner bypass/substitute unit which apparently hooks right into the IF section on ebay for $20. It has manual gain control. Are there any modern alternatives to those old units?
He kept promising he would find something that would be automatic but then finally admitted he couldn't.
And btw what is the official term for those tuner bypass boxes?
