There is or was a mechanical system of wheels, pulleys and a dial cord that was moved b turning the knob on the side. . A wheel, pulley, or cord is broken or out of place, broken, stripped, or stretched, I would guess broken because 35 year old plastic is fragile and the dial has to be tight enough to break small plastic holders, Going out and catching that little bird, and replacing it in a coo coo clock would be easer to do than repair it properly. Sorry!
You will probably have better luck finding a 35 year old bird than a 35 year old radio part

Mine is doing the same as well. Been working for 1 year. Now it starts cutting out while listening. I noticed if it is broadcasting the fm frequency menu is there. The minute it cuts out I press Menu and that menu item is gone. It comes back once the radio starts working again. Mine is 1 year old. I got it Christmas of 2006. I do know that if you have it directly connected then this menu item will not appear and that is by design. I think my xm roady xt has gone bad.

If you use your radio at work it could be exposed to dirt and dust and more! Could just need a good cleaning, drywall dust is terrible on electronics!

The original is an incandescent 14V 30mA bulb. Hard to get. Much easier to substitute a Blue or Green 3V 30mA LED, in series with a 470ohm 1W carbon resistor, to reduce the 14V to 3V. The LED will last almost forever. Don't forget that an LED is polarity-sensitive, and must be connected appropriately Long-leg to RED, and Short-leg to BLACK.
