Re: Need help with older RCA Tv with solder ground problem

Ok Remove the back of the TV .
You will see what is on the other end of the fitting that you are wiggling.
That's the tuner ,remove it then take of the cover and get out the mag
glass and reflow the bad connections.
Done many of those.

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!
