Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

RE: Fisher KM-60 problem

That one uses a selenium rectifier full wave bridge.

Shown on the schematic as SR. They are known to go bad whan old, and usually smell bad on the way out. You can replace a SR with normal 1200V rated silicon diodes, but they will have significantly less voltage drop. To match the old B+ voltage you can insert a power resistor in series after the diodes.
That's a great tuner, mostly a kit version of the FM100B with different metering. I like the KM-60 horizontal tube for tuning, like certain Sherwood S3000 models meters...
