Even when i play some records starts fading out.
I doubt that this cap-coil is causing this. Something else is going bad. As you mention it happens to both radio mode and record player mode, I'd look at the circuits used in both modes, namely the audio amp circuits, and the power supply. The radio circuits probably are not causing it. Try measuring various voltages in the set, when first turned on (after the tubes are warmed up, say 20 seconds), and remeasure the same various voltages when the fade out happened. That might tell you what circuit to look at. As someone else mentioned, a resistor may be drifting as it gets warm.
