UHF mod for CATV reception

I'll start off by saying that I'm new to this forum, and I hope I'm not starting an already started thread. (what I mean by that is that if this has already been discussed on a previous thread, then please refer me to it.)

I, like most people, am a CATV subscriber. The TV in my room is analog though, which means I can get channels 2-13 on VHF, and roughly channels 59-83 (CATV equivalent) in the bottom range of the UHF tuner, due to the fact that the over-the-air 14-83 frequency range overlaps the CATV 14-83 range at this point. Since congress killed analog broadcasting, the UHF dial has become essentially useless since you skip 14-58 on CATV.

My question is would it be possible to modify a UHF tuner by shifting the receiving frequency range so that it is parallel to that of the CATV range? And what would be a universal method that can be easily applied to any tuner?

I'm going to use my recently restored Mallory TV-101 UHF tuner as the guinea pig in this experiment. I've included the schematics for the tuner, and I would like to keep from modifying the inductuner itself if all possible.
