This TV has been doinghtis for years and was given to me. I would not
mind taking it to a shop but it is very heavy and my wife is expecting
a baby any day now.

Is there a way I can "attempt" to do this at home?

What exactly is the problem? I will have to get the numbers tomorrow.
For some reason it only does it on over the air channels that are not
really strong. Strong signal channels and satelite do not cause the
problem.


You seem to have diagnosed it pretty well yourself, wiggling the coax fixes
it, likely if you open it up you'll be able to see cracked soldering that
your wiggling is effecting, this is a good beginner TV repair project, just
read up on the safety stuff in the FAQ first.
