Recently I posted a request for information regarding the availability of a
device or circuit which would replace the mechanical tuner in an old TV and
tune only channel 3 or 4.  

I received two replies by E-MAIL both of which suggested that I set the
existing tuner to the desired channel and then solder the tuner contacts.
This obviously converts the exiting tuner to a "single channel tuner" and
it also eliminates forever the notorious problems of dirty contacts in old
mechanical tuners.

Since today most people connect their TVs to a VCR which has a tuner and a
single channel output, "repairing" an old TY in this fashion seems entirely
resonable, practical and inexpensive.

My thanks to all who responded.
