Definitely save the settings. I used to work on a lot of these TVs and every one that I worked on, I saved the values with the customers information in case it came back again and I had to replace the EEPROM. Most of those TVs have bad grounds around the tuner that was integrated into the main board. I always removed the shields above and below the tuner portion and soldered all the ground that I could see. Yes, it is very delicate soldering, but if you want the set to last and perform it becomes a must. Our neighbor next door still uses one of these sets as her main TV, and yes, I still have the parameter values for that set.
