This Radio, in common with many others of that era, uses a UCC85, which I have substituted to no avail. I have also checked the aerial tuning coils, isolating capacitors, etc., and measured the voltages around the front end, which are much as stated in the service data. My feeling is that the fault is indeed somewhere in the front end, but, despite checking most components in the Tuner Box, I cannot pin down the cause, which, as you can all imagine is very frustrating! That having been said I'm grateful for any suggestions received
