I would first disconnect the VCR and see if there was any improvement. If
no improvement keep disconnecting other components. If you get problems
with nothing hooked up, sell it.
Does your coax run close or parallel to any cables for the TV? The coax may
be radiating. Some beads or a line isolator on the coax at the antenna may
help.
Does the rig have a AC line filter?
As been discussed here before a simple little homemade RF meter to detect RF
on cables would answer some questions quickly.
