Looking to repair the FM on this as their is currently no stations tuning in just white noise. I can tune in a AM station.
Tape playback is good.

I have the SM and it seems pretty standard.

Doing some standard checks such as voltage at IC1 (front end) before passing through to IC2 FM/AM IF everything "looks" to be ok but I am thinking that the IC1 while having voltage slightly lower than those specified across the board, this could be faulty and not passing the signal to IC2.
What would be your next steps?
