Default Grundig Satellit 500 - Help needed

However, it now has developed a problem. After a few seconds of
normal
reception and audio, whatever station I am listening to disappears
completely - all I hear is white noise, as if there were no station on
that frequency whatsoever. All bands are like this... I cannot tune
any
station on FM, MW, LW, or SW. It's as if there were no stations
whatsoever. All the other dials and buttons operate normally in this
condition... it's just that there are no stations.

If I then turn the unit off for a short while, 10 minutes or so, the
last tuned station returns for 2 or 3 seconds, then vanishes. If I
leave the receiver turned off for 6 or more hours, the station will
come
back and play for 1 minute, but no more, and then all of the bands are
dead again.

Is this a problem anyone has heard of? It is very frustrating to deal
with as I was excited to finally have a Grundig receiver in my
possession. ]


Sounds like a bad component. Do you have any freeze spray?
