The long-tern fix, as mentioned by N4PY, is to take off the front panel and re-seat the ribbon connectors. This does not mean that it couldn't be a capacitor or other hardware related item but in my opinion this is the most probably and easiest to diagnose/fix.

Would putting some sort of "contact enhancer" such as DeOxit Gold (not 
the regular red stuff) or Stabilant 22 help?

Thanks in advance and 73,
