Mits VS-5061 TV tuner

[SEPrince1]

Hi All:

Just had a service guy out and he says my tuner is shot. He will call me later with part/replacement pricing but I keep looking for the part online and I come up with nothing. The part number is: ENV568F9G3. Anyone know any websites I can search? Even Mits won't offer the part to me. They tell me to order it from an "authorized" shop.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Assuming this is the same part, it is $16.95 at

SEPrince1 Spilled my beer when they jumped on the table and proclaimed in :

There used to be a company that rebuilt TV tuners. PTS INC, I think...

Found them on google.

Does the TV have Audio/Video inputs? If so, just use the A/V outs from your VCR and forget about the tuner all together. Even if you have to spend $50-$80 for a new VCR and 2 or 3 RCA-RCA cables, you'll probably still save over buying a new tuner and gettting it installed. Probably have better quality video, too.

Gee, with a complicated part number like that, just long onto

and key that all in. That's how I found ribbons for my 1983 Diablo Hystrike printer. Same with the batteries for my cell phone.

Hi Guys:

Thanks for the links and answers. Seems strange that the part number comes up as a Panasonic part and not a Mits part? I emailed most of those sites and lets see if I can find it.

Thanks again!!

Hi Guys:

Heres another question I have. I tried watching the TV through the VCR tuner and the problem is the same. Does this mean my tuner on my set is OK? Why would the picture jump on the TV tuner and on the VCR tuner? Does the TV tuner control the picture no matter what tuner its playing from?

Maybe the reapir guy is a wacko? It did take him 30 seconds to identify the problem?

Your internal tuner should hae absolutely nothing to do with the quality of incoming A/V signals. If you have a problem with both, it's in the video section, that's where baseband audio and video do after the tuner/demod section.

Methinks he just took a bad guess. He flunked Troubleshooting 101.

Run away.
