Ty, Had a set with similiar symptoms a couple of years ago, had snowy raster,and one station came in on all channels in mid range, but wouldn't change when channels changed.The same picture came in on several channels. Also had herringbone pattern in picture on channel that did come in. Fix was defective tuner,(A340309-1003) and bad saw filter(3630020001). I realize you've already tried to repair the tuner, but replacing it would have been easier and probably less time consuming, as TipTop Tuner in California(1-818-345-1974)(www.tiptoptuner.com) has this tuner in stock (rebuilt) for $27.00(exchanged, you have two weeks to send dud tuner back to them) and shipping and handling is free.
