Boomboxes

[Trance88]

I got myself another boombox. This one is a Panasonic RXC36. It's a nice unit, but the FM radio has a problem. When you first turn it on, it will play in "FM Stereo" just fine for about 5 minutes. After that, the radio starts to fade in and out of stereo until it will no longer go in stereo at all. If I turn it off for about 20 minutes, it will play in stereo again, but then the cycle starts again.

Any idea what could be the issue?

Need to adjust the stereo ceramic capacitor in the radio section with a jewelers screwdriver I do this by ear although that are proper ways to do this but you need the schematic to find exactly which one it is & for this and then the service manual too of which I do not have for this model.
