We had this problem a couple of years ago. Happened 2 or 3 times over a Summer. Spent many hours troubleshooting and found no faults. The problem has never recurred.

Aircraft Spruce has a product called "Un-Mask". I have used it with some success but I really doubt that you will find anything that will help with something as old as you have.
