But didn't he say a few of the coils were ruined? A shop might be able
to repair the tuner but most would probably replace it, and he asked
about repairing it himself in which case replacing the tuner would be
the way to go if he's inexperienced, depending on cost of course.

But did he even say it was the tuner?

I don't know at what point it changed, but many a tv set had a coax
connector on the back (and often a 300ohm set of terminals too), along
with a balun, and then a cable to the actual tuner. That's what I'm
picturing here, rather than that the coax connector was broken off
a tuner.

Presumably more recent sets did things differently (I've not looked
at more recent ones), and the connector is on the tuner module
and it's directly mounted on the back of the tv set. But at that
point, the structure is different and I can't imagine the coax connector
breaking off, unlike when the connector itself is mounted by itself
on the plastic.
