Jeff,

That sounds like the infamous 13-pin A340309-1003 tuner problem.  I have
replaced hundreds of them for the same problem.  Don't see many of them
anymore, but I still stock them.  Used to rebuilt them, but hardly worth
it when I can get them from Tip Top for $27.00, and the chips used are
getting hard to find.  Sears used to charge about $250 for that tuner
replacement.

HTH,
