I had a problem similar to this and it was a bad IF transformer
worked fair when warm got worse as temperature droped and guit
completely at aproximately 25 deg. F.


How did you figure out it was the IF transformer? And did you figure what was wrong with the IF transformer? I mean, gee, what could go wrong with an IF transformer that would vary with temperature?


Broken winding I suppose, or worn through insulation causing a shorted turn.
