Need help with older RCA Tv with solder ground problem

x-no-archive:yes

I have a :

Model # G35830WK


Chasis # CTC169JS6

With stations that go in and out. Wiggeling the coax sometimes fixes
it. I am assumming this is the notorious tuner ground problem. I have
not opened up the tv yet. Does anyone have a diagram on where the tuner
is and what needs to be taken off to get to it to re solder the tuner
shield?

I have also read elsewhere that some have fixed this by soldering a
jumper wire from the shield to a ground. Is this an acceptable fix for
those whose soldering skills may not be stellar? What ground would you
run the jumper wire to?

Thanks for your help!
