Total noob when it comes to electronics, but my old tape deck broke and I'm 90% sure it's because this joint is loose & moved independently of the board. Since I've never soldered before, should I just put more solder on top, or take my chances at heating/removing the old solder first? Any advice is welcomed.

I took it into an electronics repair shop and they told me the price to look at it would be the same as what it's worth, and I don't have the spare cash for either right now.
