Good advice. BUT MAKE SURE YOU CAN IDENTIFY A CAPACITOR. Seriously. Anything with a transformer onboard can change the whole "fiddle with it" mentality. If you have a multimeter, test all connections first. Yes, most caps discharge, but larger ones will take longer. If they are grouped, they may take longer to discharge.
Personally, I don't think it's a connection you can fix. My 1989 RCA did the same thing a few years back. After calling around I found out it was a $200 part or something. Drop it off at your nearest repair shop and let them part it out.
Good luck and be safe.
