Is the JVC3050 the little portable radio/TV set? If so, I also have one which I have not got round to working on.

It is 625 line only. The VHF tuner, as others have said was for models used outside the UK, which also had modifications due to the different spacing between the sound and vision signals in the UK as against, say, the rest of Europe. There is a comment in the manual that came with mine that the UK model can be modified by a TV service engineer to work elsewhere (I assume by retuning the sound IF strip).

Do you have the circuit diagram for it? Mine came with a circuit diagram folded up inside the user manual, and I would be happy to provide a scan of that if you need it.
