1996 850 SC-815 Radio/CD Cuts Out 850

Last week,I purchased a 1996 854 T5 with the SC-815 premium sound cassette and CD. The Radio did not work and I obtained the 4 digit code - after driving with the radio on for 2 hours or so, it asked for the code and after entering it, the radio played fine for hours.Next day after turning the radio on, it played for 5 minutes and then NO SOUND. The radio station still showed in the display, and it can scan to other stations, pause, switch to CD etc but no sound. There is a very slight background sound that is only evident with the volume way up.
I also noticed the antenna did not go up on it's own, and falls back down to 4 inch height easily.
I would like to know if this is something simple, before I consider purchasing a VOLVO Refurb SC-815 at $285. ($300. core charge until old unit returned)
Any suggestions??
