Default Re: BUSH VHF90A has been dropped-now no reception!

If you can hear the "normal" VHF hiss/noise (this usually originates from the mixer stage), so the fault may well be prior to this stage.
I would think.
Your description suggests that most of the set is working, and I would be thinking of the very early stages, the VHF front end.
If the fault is due to dropping and not just coincidental, have you looked at the connections to the aerial socket, and if you carefully touch, via a small screw driver with an insulated handle, around the front end tuning coils area, do you get any signs of life.
Dont know the set, presume it uses something like a Double Triode at the front end, is this warm to touch or stone cold.
Have you measured any voltages around the VHF amp/oscillator ?
