The Heathkit tuners were designed to be fairly simple - and to be successfully built by a DIYer with little experience-
Some of the tuners are quite good- with a decent antenna (Timbo-)

There are also lots of resources on the web depending upon which model -

When was it last operating well?
It may just need new tubes - though it is very likely that it will need some new caps...

If there is still a McIntosh service center in NYC- they may be able to help- they need to be capable of servicing the older McIntosh tuners -
Happy Listening
