Have you tried replacing the coax? It seems to me for a couple of bucks,
you can avoid a lot of effort if it works.

The antenna connector could be loose, or corroded. If you have any DeOxit,
put a drop on the end of a toothpick and clean the center contact of
the antenna socket. If it's an F connector, which is designed for bare
wire as the center contact use something thinner, like a bent paperclip.
