1992 RCA Console SET

In any case first all parameters should be WRITTEN down then the solder job.
I would not recommend just anyone do it unless expirienced with SMD.
& have a nice iron. Under the shield things are VERY close, its
a miracle I only splashed one out of hundreds done !

LOL, I splashed a lot more than one...

You make a good point - the best option for amateurs is probably to bypass the tuner shielding entirely and ground the T-Chip and micro cage areas directly to the cold side of the power supply because, as you say, it's tight in that tuner.
