There was a video on Youtube from AllAmericanFiveRadio where he was working on a 90 that had a simular issue. When his was cold he turned it on and it wouldn't play, then he would touch a screw driver pretty much anywhere and it would come to life. I believe it was a cold solder joint. Ill see if I can find the video where he explains his problem.

Here you go:

Hope it give you some help.
