Have you tried soddering the if block? Take it out remove the cover and sodder it (some even have a connection marked AFT) and any other bad connections, Tunner connections a possibility too. I find that 99.8% of all Sony IF blocks and tuners made before about 1993 can be repaired by soddering the insides. Only have had to replcace about 2 out of the many that we've seen over the last 15 years. On the EXR and XBR series bad connections on low volatge regulators can cause Phantom tunner and control problems Especialy look along some of the larger heat sinks.
