Those old car Radios have over 100 Capacitors inside of them, soldered to the circuit board. The ones they used to make are rolled with sheets of aluminum foil and mylar in-between. They they are dipped in a wax-like substance. When those get old they start to change value and often they fail. When one goes bad it usually leads to a domino effect which takes out several others. The only real cure for that is to replace all of them at once. New caps are made in a different way, and they last a lot longer.
