Remember the days when we pressed the buttons on the TV ?   
These days it's  " [size=16].M.G[/size]...the remotes broken !!"

Unfortunately, the manufacturers stopped putting most of the controls on the actual set years ago so the remote is pretty much essential if you want to do more than change channel or alter the volume these days.

The resonator is coded as 400CM630 but what value will that be?

It looks identical to this but the coding is different obviously.

Looks like a Murata part but as you say they appear to have changed their part number format and I can't find the old style explained. Hazard a guess at 4MHz? :-/

Cheers Kev I was thinking along the 4MHz lines myself, I'll have a wander to see Mrs Modern Radio tomorrow see what she has in stock. She'll probably know what it is, she usually does.

I remember televisions before the onset of those new fangled buttons - they had stout rotary controls to carry out all functions.

If there was a 17 inch screen in the house you weren't doing too  badly, a 21 inch - you were getting there, and a 24 inch - you'd arrived.

Ecko, Murphy and Bush are some of the names I remember.

Ahh yes!!  Required about two pounds of pressure to change channel and you had to keep your knuckles out of the way of the button coming out or it would hurt you.  You had to wash your hands before re-tuning just to get a grip on the knobs!

I've just remembered it was turret tuners before that.  Anyone remember those?

[tidla]

throw it across the room and forget about it. later pick it up and try again forgetting its broken.
throw it across the room again,this time when it hit the wall and explodes into little bits..
buy a new one

With vernier rings for coarse and fine tuning!

My first B & W Tv. had selector buttons for 405 VHF and 625 UHF.....although the latter; with that new-fangled colour business will never take off!

Update.
He's only gone and done it again, Changed the resonator and bingo works first time. The man's a genius.
Cost of replacement £45, cost of repair parts £1 so a decent saving there.
Thanks Mark, Kev and everyone else for your help and advice.
