Hi, Thanks for the post. It sounds like you know what you are talking
about. I am not familar with IF tank circuits. What are they and what
do they do?

Cheers,

Just a couple of options in my opinion. The problem is obviously in the
IF tank circuit and would require repair to use it like you are. The
other option would be to connect an external tuner(vcr, satellite,
digital cable etc) to one of the AV inputs and change channels with
that. Not really solving the problem but, could be a less expensive
option.
