Have you cleaned the tuner contacts in recient memory?

Dirty contacts can wreak all kinds of havock in mechanical tuners including noise, and in some cases NO signal reaching the IF. I let the contacts in my 59' Zenith get so bad that it would NOT pass a signal once, and gained a new appreciation for De Oxit.

Tube contacts can have issues too, but tuners like to do it more often.
