I have a 95 Chrysler LeBaron with a standard stock AM-FM Stero
Cassette black-finished radio from another 94, 95, or 96 Chrysler.

The radio goes on when I turn on the car, or when I turn the radio on
separately. The station frequency displays for a second but then the
time reappears and no sound comes out. None of the keys on the radio
do anything at that point, so the radio must be off. I turn the knob
off, and back on again, and the same thing happens, the frequency
displays for a second every time. It's taken up to 8 tries to get the
radio to go on. Today it took 4 tries.

The radio works fine for a few weeks or months after each episode, but
I'm planning to drive to Dallas and back, and I'd hate for it to
totally fail during the trip.

Any advice on what's wrong or how to fix it before I leave??

Thanks
