Problems of this kind are not rare. The electronics are 30+ years old 
and not as robust as today's electronic components.
They can be fixed, and common problems are leaky capacitor , an out of 
spec thermister or dirty variable resistor that is used to set the 
calibration. These components are inside the can, which comes apart 
quite easily.
I have a schematic which I can look for if its needed, and not 
available on the net.
