So today I finished replacing electrolytics in the original tuner board, and (using a grounded wrist strap) installed the other NTE IC I had in place of the original.
Results:
Basically the same as the first board, only there is evidence of life on AM although it is barely picking up anything on AM.
Then I had a thought...is replacing the electrolytics throwing off the alignment that much?
I'm tired and my brain is still not functioning 100% thanks to all the chemo.
At this point I would be much obliged for any help; otherwise it is going back on the shelf to be sold at a later date "as-is - for parts". I've invested way too much time on this one already over the space of a couple years and I'm really getting tired of messing with it.
