The electrolytic capacitors in these old transistor radios dry out with age.
Replace them (observe polarity) and it should solve the problem. Clean the switches and volume control with a good quality contact cleaner like Caig De-Oxit.
I assume Austria (or nearby Germany) must have at least one radio/electronics parts supply houses that operate via mail-order or with counter service?
