1990 740GL: Radio dying?

One day, the FM radio just cut out. The radio still has power, and I
can get a few AM stations, but the FM audio is barely there, as if the
antenna connection might have come loose. It seems to cut back in now
and then as I bump along, again suggesting to me that an antenna
connection is loose.

I checked the antenna connection in the trunk, and it is fine. Are
there other obvious places to check before I yank to center console to
get behind the radio?

Do these radios just die eventually? It is the original radio, which
makes it close to 20 years old. This problem is really annoying
because I listen to my iPod through the radio using an FM transmitter,
and now I can't do that anymore. And the AM stations I still get have
people saying some crazy stuff, so I really need to get my FM back.

Any feedback or experiences appreciated...

Oh, the radio is a TD-6141 if that helps.
