You may get a snowy pix but a new RF amp or mixer/osc will
take care of that. Kind of strange since most of the snow is
noise that is generated inside the TV............

Sets with more I.F. stages will produce more snow. I have noticed that 1940s sets, especially the lower end models will even when working correctly not produce much if any snow on unoccupied channels.
