Philco radio from 1971 Ford F100
#12

I lightly pushed a bunch of things with a pencil eraser as suggested by someone and the radio started working. It worked fine all Summer but then I noticed that it wouldn't bring in a signal on cool days. It sounded like it was between stations wherever the dial was. When the heater is on for long enough or it's warm outside it works fine again. I'm guessing that there is a wire that is barely connected and contracts on cool days causing it to lose it's connection. I've heard of fair weather friends before but never a fair weather radio!
