I do believe at this time that the problem is on the analog board. There are three chips, functioning, a bunch of 1/4w Rs, some diodes, etc, that I "trust". I did replace one .01 with .1 that was the DC block to the AGC; I overlooked that until the board was installed. That's a flat-out mistake. So I ordered the right caps, including the missing values, and since it's an overall "low cost" job, I'll do it somewhat blindly. And worry anew if it doesn't work :-) I did watch the AGC work, but you know how that goes; it's a closed-loop, the reference V for it seems OK, I saw a long-TC sniggle (tens of millsecs) so I "assume" AGC works. Well, it was a truly well-sealed trailer. In Bakersfield. Think hot desert (though there is winter rain, 8" a year or so, there was not one single evidence of moisture, zero, not even mouse turds). Absolutely no evidence of humidity, all the papers were dry and clean.
