Old radios should really be gone through electrically and old capacitors replaced at least as parts that are 40 or 50 years old can fail at any time. However, with the radio on, try cycling the bandswitch buttons on and off a dozen times. The contacts are probably dirty. If you can get to the switch, spray cleaner into it while working the buttons. The other thing to do is check the IF and RF tubes in the set, at least to see if they all light. Spray cleaner on the tube pins and plug in and out of socket several times while the pins are wet to clean the contacts.
