Sometimes mechanical considerations with this type repair become a
nuisance. A different line of attack to consider is to forget the
direct original connection type repair and simply remount a spare
connector elsewhere on the back of the set or even run a short piece of
coax outside the set. This makes the solder work in the tuner much
easier and having a short length of coax (with a strain relief) outside
the set is a real convenience. And while your at it, give the customer
a push-on coax connector to avoid future damage. I've never had a
return after this type repair.
