Hi Dave.

I should have taken pics of it while I had it apart, but I didnt.

This tuner does not use tuneable strips. I assumed that it did. The entire drum and shaft can be removed, which I did. The fine tuner slugs are installed in 12 positions on one end of the drum. I removed the individual slugs and put some fine paper sheets into the hole where the slug goes. This was enough to keep the slugs from falling when the tuner is installed shaft-up in the cabinet. I cleaned the drum contacts, and the contacts in the tuner body. The tuner seems to be stable now, and especially after I replaced the two tubes, the AGC is better. The buzz is gone from the TV audio, too.

I have an ad in the classifieds on VK about the tuner. No answers, yet.
