thanks a lot.

I had only a first look on this one.

There are a lot of different revisions, yours is F4 on the tuner PCB.

Taifun PLL versions vary, different combinations of ceramic and SMD
filters are used for the radio IF,

but even on a revision C1 with Taifun 6034T A1 and tuner revision SV21
0437 (CTX918_V2 md7134) all three SAW filters are the same already. 

A CTX925 with your Taifun 6034T B1 had also no better performance for
what I can say. PCB still has C1, but SV21 0502 tuner revision.

Important to know was, that you are on original Philips tuners and SAW
filters are the same. Guess this will hold for the analog FM1216ME/I MK3
too.

Good decision, it are still the best tuners for analog and digital I
have around, but can't talk for Secam D/K. I wonder about missing
complaints during the last four years.

Cheers,
Hermann
