I have a JVC R-X 500 receiver that is 30 years old and I have a problem with the FM receiver not pulling in enough signal to play in stereo. A strong station where I live is 97.1 so I tune to 97.1 and I have a weak signal and it will not play in stereo but it will in mono. Now tune to 97.2 and the signal is stronger and will play in stereo but it is fairly distorted. Kind of like a "spitting" distortion. If I tune to other strong stations I have similar results. Curiously, if I remove one lead from the FM antenna then the signal seems to increase some according to the status bar on the display of the receiver but I still have the same problem as before.
What do you guys think this is?
Thanks,
