First off, thanks folks for your valuable assistance.
I was able to determine I did indeed have a faulty balun, marked Archer. Reception improved greatly, and by greatly I mean from totally absent to undisplayable. With the amplifier intermittent real 31, 38, 39, 48.
Ordered the DB8e with tripod, will buy VHF antenna and combiner at a later time. I do have a couple of questions.
1) Can one install those tripods at the edge of a roof, directly penetrating the eves only having one hole in the actual roof?
2) The road travels due north south, and I have 4 peeks to choose from, two at 20ft, two at ~25ft. The 20ft peek is closer to the road suggesting better line of sight, and would be the shortest run to TV 1. Should I consider fewer trees over 5ft of height?
