Buck, probably not the tuner if you touched up the obvious joints inside of it, I think what your remembering is Q2300, the "IF Amp" ( location is at left rear of tuner) It was notorious for "tuner like symptoms", usually resoldering all 3 pins would correct the problem. Another problem was pins 1 through 8 on U2300, I used to resolder them all because it wasn`t always pins 1-8, The tuner usually had bad solder at board coordinates C7&8 or D7&8 don`t remember the correct letter but it was 7&8, hope this helps, Larry E Larry Eastman American TV & Electronics Crystal River, Fl. 34428 S.
