Welcome.

Instead of quick tap you might want to gently wiggle wires, especially those coming from the record crystal adapter (or what have you) to the radio. If there are connectors, inspect those.

It is a bad connection, likely in the adapter wiring or connectors.

Thanks Morzh! I was nervous about that, the wires are extremely thin and I am sure there may be a bad solder connection. It never occurred to me to check the crystal/cartridge. I guess I will just keep traveling along the signal chain and repair what I can.
