I have a Panasonic RF5000 and all the SW bands are dead. They only get
images from local FM stations. BUT........ yesterday when it was left on all
day on SW, when I returned home, the SW was working! Today, its been on an
hour, still nothing on SW bands. Touched all the parts with my hand, on the
inside, to see if it was something loose, and it's not that. Maybe a common
oscillator cap that goes bad? Appreciate any fixes. Please Post reply to
this group or email, thank you,

As a former owner of one of those wonderful receivers, my first guess
is to check the connections on that frame antenna. Next would be
crudded up band switches. Try a bit of non-lubricating tuner cleaner
on the contacts and see if the problem goes away.
