Bob, Checked all caps in vicinity of tuner. All check good. Also replaced capacitor on AGC line. Still not good. I have been working without a schematic. I will probably need to get a PDF schematic of the 9-1457-1 module and dig dipper into the AGC circuit. It must be something simple that I'm overlooking.
