Since your set is a portable, as Mike suggested some sort of bad connection. This could be loose wire, poor solder joint, or a crack in a trace on the circuit board. When does it act up? Does it behave badly in the radio mode too?? I suspect that your set is close to 50yrs old (mid '60's)

GL

Hi GL, it acts completely fine while the radio is on. I listened to an entire football game one Sunday with no problems. The speakers sounded great. It only acts up with the record player. 

I can't find much information on the unit itself. But I too suspect it is from sometime in the late 60's since it is AM/FM.

Hi Joe,
GL is short for good luck. If you see GLOM it's kinda a ham thing good luck old man.
Well that's a good thing that it's only the phono that acts up. Didn't look for a schematic for as I'm more of a tube guy rather than a transistor.
Took a quick look and found this

You could try posting a want ad here and on the barking dog forum, someone may be willing to scan it for you for free. You can order it on line @ $22. This will have lot of pics and replacement part numbers ect... To be specific what you are looking for is Sam's Photofact 893-6. Sometimes they can turnup on Epay too for $5 or so. Sorry I have deep pocket but short arms!!!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
