Something similar happened to me several years ago. In my case it turned out one of the battery cables was loose and breaking contact. A little later that same day when I tried to start the car and nothing happened I figured out the problem. It was a cheap fix...tighten the battery cable end.

That happened to a 67 or 69 Camaro I had. All the radio conections were fine except the loose antenna cable. That fixed it.

Quite possible that it is an internal problem in the radio.

Is yours the AM/FM slide left and right band selector? Mine does that and it I slide the selector back and forth it comes back on. Some sort of internal loose connection.
