Why does my car radio work only sometimes?

My dad's 1985 Oldmobile 442 (soon to be one of my cars) has the original stereo... the stereo hasn't worked for a few years, and all of a sudden today, it worked... I was wondering what might be wrong with it?

The fuse is good...

Usually, when i go to turn it on, it will turn on, but there' nothing on the display, and all i hear i static no matter what channel i switch it to... So is the radio bad or is something not connected the right way? Alo, it was working today, but then quit all of a sudden... and now there's not even any static!!

The microprocessor trim capacitor is bad. It's a common problem and easy to repair. Another common problem is the on-off switch, but you wouldn't get static if it failed.
