Have this machine 6 - 7 years, a few years ago the digital TV tuner started going crazy.... just kept tuning channels continuously, couldn't get it to stop. Took it apart, cleaned, removed and reinserted a flat ribbon cable attached to the tuner circuit board. It worked for a while, then the tuner just got 'stuck' trying to do a simple channel scan....so it won't tune anything at all. Put it in the 'graveyard' closet in 2015, since I have many other recorders at my disposal.
After recently resurrecting a Philips 3506 back to working condition, I took the Toshiba out for inspection, seems that flat ribbon cable is probably shot. Looked on line for a replacement, can't seem to find the correct one. It's 20 - pin, about 3 inches long, with blue insertion plastic on both ends. There are numbers stamped on it that read "AWM 20624 80C 60V". I saw a few similar flat ribbon cables on line, but none seem to match. Anyone know where I can find one ?? I'd like to give the DR660 one more chance before I trash it.

Do you think the cable is corroded through? I don't see what else could happen to it just sitting there inside the machine. Sounds more like you have a problem with a component or trace on the tuner board.

Yeah, those contacts look pretty ratty. Maybe you could touch them up with a conductive paint pen. Also you may have a short between #2 and #3.
