Got the tuner out, and the 6HQ5 tube that's right next to the UHF output which is RF Amp, is shorted, weak, and fails grid emissions.. I'm assuming that's why I'm having UHF problems.. Also the other tube with the shield all the way around it, I can't get to, to pull out.. I took some channel locks to try and remove the what looks like a top half of the metal shield and it didn't want to pull off.. I didn't try too hard because I'm not sure if that's how it comes off..

Update: Figured out the shield.. It slides down.. That tube is shorted, weak and fails grid emissions as well.. Both tubes are bad but VHF is fine..

I noticed that both channels 2 and 3 come in perfect as for picking up the signal from the cable box, which is set to channel 3..
