Antique TV Tuner Repair

[bgadow]

The last time I tried contacting Louis Stangle his business phone had been disconnected. The one time I talked with him he mentioned throwing away a huge pile of old tuners
Seems like last year one of the guys on here talked about someone he knew that still dabbled in them, maybe samson?

Yes: Fine tuning does help a bit, I think this set was hit by lighting or a surge? I did try to contact that guy that repair's tuners, but had no luck. This set has had a recap and I got a crt from bob.

if thats the case you should check the balun mounted on the tuner. I had a zenith that had a smoked balun. Presented with a lot of snow but a pic was there. At the time I did NOT have a replacement, I took the old one out and rewound the smoke coil. Worked fine after that.
