Default Missing coax connector on TV

We moved a few months ago and just got out our spare TV to set up in the
basement. I went to connect to the cable up and the coax connector is
missing. The plastic is broken around the area. I see two coiled wires,
one copper and one red and the edge of a board. It is a Citizen
model:JCTV3413B. Can I get a new coax connector and connect it? I would
like to try doing this myself if at all possible.

Any advice apprecitated.

Is the blocking capacitor still there? If so, I'd use the stock RCA
connector. What I usually did if the connector was too big for the
opening is remove one or two sections of the part of the connector
that goes inside the TV, and heavily solder the connector to the tuner
on the outside. You'd probably have to see one of those connectors to
know what I am referring to.
