Thanks, guys. Phil, you've forgotten me... :-) it's Dan Jones. You and I e-mailed each other a lot when I was getting this set back on its feet. Good to hear from you.

I read in the manual about FM interference and how it can relate to those channels. However this is on channel 3. Anyway to answer your questions:

-The set has been completely recapped (with the exception of most of the tuner), and pretty much re-resistored. The resistances in the rest of the set were in spec.
-I cleaned all of the tube sockets with DeOxIt.
-I haven't messed with any of the channels as I only need channel 3 in order to use a DTV converter or VCR/DVD as there are no more analog broadcasts, and it has been working fine.
-I've never attempted an alignment before. That is something that I'd likely need some handholding on the first time I try it. Plus, I'm limited in what gear I have to do that kind of procedure...
-The tuner contacts were also cleaned with DeOxIt cleaner and contact restorer.
-It will be pretty hard to reinstall the old parts (one resistor broke apart...).

The video signal quality has always been great.
