I seem to remember a tuner repair/rebuild shop called "Castle", back about 35-40 years ago. They were based, IIRC, in Dallas or some place else out west. I don't know if they are still around; they may have gone out of business shortly after the DTV transition.

Tube extenders to trouble shoot a tuner are useless. Throws them way out of tune and most voltages will be useless. Back in the day balluns or a plate resistor were the most fixable things. Anything else off to the tuner shop. $7-$9 plus shipping for most repairs.
